Chapter 75: Chapter 74 The Era Quietly Changes 1

“Many soul-type troops inherently possess the ability to morph, merging into shadows or condensing into an indiscernible little soul orb that players can wear on themselves.”

At critical moments, they indeed serve a protective role, particularly in the real world.

Some powerful soul-type troops could even stroll conspicuously down the street, remaining unnoticed by ordinary people.

It’s just that the grade of his resentful spirit was too low, but its future prospects were promising.

Half an hour later,

Mu Yuan, who’d finished another ‘cutting his hand’ routine, converting all his soul sand into accompanying remnant souls, lay listlessly on the couch, occasionally picking up his phone to check on Dead Bone and Duo Lai’s teams. “Thank heavens for Dead Bone and Duo Lai; otherwise, managing would be impossible. No wonder so many individual lords shifted plans before beginning.”

Half-reclined, Mu Yuan contemplated, “Everything’s steady in the Eternal World right now. The combat plan is to vanquish the Snake man tribe, but that must wait until Dead Bone reaches the professional level and can exert more power. There’s no hurry.”

“In contrast, there seem to be more monsters leaking into the real world through cracks.”

News of monsters appearing and ordinary people getting hurt had been broadcasted over the past few days.

However, before these reports surfaced, many rumors about ‘spiritual energy resurgence,’ ‘discovery of a new land,’ ‘super ancient empire ruins,’ ‘major technological breakthrough,’ ‘discovery of a new element,’ etc., had already spread all over the place.

The official channels even invited a number of famous scholars and professors for interviews.

The information revealed could be summarised in four words-‘major breakthrough,’ ‘the time has changed.’

‘Investigative research on the awakening of superpowers.’

‘Jiuxuan Group’s new product-Jiuxuan physical refiner is now for sale. This physical refiner effectively improves physical fitness and boosts immumty…Citizens can purchase one piece per person using their ID card.’ ‘New martial arts courses have been implemented in all major universities and high schools, and 360 Super Martial Arts Schools across the country have officially opened.’

‘It is reported that…’

It seemed like an overnight occurrence where many had woken up to find… the times had changed, so sudden and without warning.

People were a bit uneasy about the sudden monster attacks, yet they rejoiced in the ‘major technological breakthrough’ announced by the authorities.

Incidents of monsters hurting people were still distant, but medications, a healthier and stronger body, even exceptional awakening… all these seemed close at hand.

“Xuan Country has established a Super Strategy Bureau to manage all kinds of super-related cases…although it seems more like they’ve officially stepped into the limelight.”

“On the other side of the ocean, the Star Splendor Federation is more exaggerated. They have introduced dozens of young players, tirelessly promoting them as the world-saving superheroes, tsk tsk.”

Although the situation was stable, undercurrents were undeniably present.

This scenario had crises, yet it also presented opportunities.

For average players, those monsters invading the real world through dimensional cracks were their chances for gaining large amounts of soul sand.

In the Baijiang players’ chat group, many people had called friends, ready to

wander around looking for fleeing monsters.

This was particularly true for this term’s new Ranger players.

“The monsters that leak into reality through the cracks usually aren’t high leveled. It’s our golden opportunity! Otherwise, when will we reach the professional level by slowly working in the Eternal World?”

“Indeed, after the evacuation, we newbies also received some soul sand. As long as we’re not completely useless, we should have a few two-star troops leveled up to 6. It might be dangerous to go alone, but it’s not a problem if we hunt in teams. The rewards won’t be low either.”

“This lady here has two level 6 Half-Orcs and one level 6 Goblin Spearman.

Team up requests, please take me with you, pretty please.”

“+1+1,1 can whine too!”

“There seem to be fleeing monsters in the Red Mountain Forest outside the city, need one more scout for our three-man team.”

“Me me me, my grey wolf has an excellent sense of smell.”

“One-star soldier? Weak, pass!”

Even some newbies of the same phase wanted to invite him to hunt monsters together, but Mu Yuan was like, hell no.

As a major lord, he harvested hundreds of Soul Sands in an hour!

“The reward from the association is indeed generous, even old players are tempted. However, hunting mainly depends on whether you can encounter newly spawned monsters, which is one of the reasons why newbies can compete with old players.”

As for him? His energy was all focused on preparing for the Lord Trials.

Other new Lord players did the same.

However, if he stumbled upon fleeing monsters while going out, he, as the Major Lord, would definitely take action – for the sake of societal peace. While browsing through the notices of the association, his ears pricked up suddenly, his sharp hearing caught the faint sounds of turmoil in the distance. “Seems like something happened? Right within the residential area.” After thinking for a moment, Mu Yuan summoned the Resentful Spirit Hong Yi, turned it into a Soul Orb and hid it in his pocket. He also crammed a few brave soldiers into his Lord’s Seal, then stepped out of the door.

The noises of shouting and fighting became clearer.

Several figures with brownish-yellow skin and bulging muscles, wielding clubs

or large knives, came into sight from a distance.

They were the three-star Monster Barbarians!

Their eyes glowed faintly crimson, as they growled and waved their weapons.

However, they were held off by a young man… well, by the soldiers he dispatched, to be exact.

Two three-star Sword and Shield Soldiers stood in the front, bearing the fierce onslaught of the barbarians. A three-star female Musketeer was hidden in the distance, firing away. There was also a particularly noticeable soldier, a ‘Rare Level’ Halberd Guard. With a mighty swing of his halberd, he split open the palm of a barbarian, staggering it to its knees.

“It looks like these are monsters that just fled into the real world. Landing in a residential area full of players, these three barbarians are fairly lucky.”

There were several new ranger players spectating nearby, eager to take action, some had already deployed troops like spearmen and guards.

However, there is an unspoken rule among players. The hunting rights for ‘Fleeing Monsters’ naturally belong to whoever discovers them first, unless the discoverer is clearly outmatched.

They saw that these three barbarians were exceptionally sturdy, probably around level 8 or 9, and not easy to deal with. They had originally planned to step m if the young man couldn’t handle them, but…

There was no chance, the one who acted was too strong.

“Is this the power of a Lord Player?”

“Not only that, this Young Master Tan is also a top-tier whale. Among the new Lord players, he is definitely a strong player and has the qualifications to Challenge the leaderboard. It is said that he has invested more than a small fortune in this game!”

“Damn it! Why is a whale competing with us for prey!”

Some new Lord players muttered.

At this time, the new Lord player Mr. Tan had already killed two fleeing

barbarians and was about to finish off the last one.

Suddenly,

Crack crack crack—

A faint space crack suddenly appeared, like a mouth, in the blink of an eye, it spat out one figure after another..
