Chapter 38 - Courage as Strong as Steel Jingwei Filling the Sea!

– Part 2 38: Chapter 28 Courage as Strong as Steel: Jingwei Filling the Sea!

– Part 2 “One day, I leveled up four times!”

“If I keep this pace, as long as I keep hunting monsters, I’ll soon reach level 12.”

“Moreover, my strength is increasing.

I can continue to farm these level 5 and 6 monsters, which is safer and less likely to result in sudden death!

There will probably be even more low-level monsters.”

Xu Shu was quite satisfied and then, feeling the newly developed defensive skill inside him, he opened the attribute details with anticipation.

*Talents: Mastery of Architecture, Spit Silk

*Talents: Tough Skin, Great Strength, Determination, Jingwei (Breakthrough Technique)

Indeed, there was an extra one!

As he saw the additional content in that entry, Xu Shu felt enlightenment flood his mind, understanding everything.

If it were to be described from the perspective of an observer using the Tai Chu Scroll, it would go like this—

Your has broken through level five, you have mastered the ultimate technique—Jingwei!

Ultimate Technique Traits: Filling the Sea!

Filling the Sea: When executing Jingwei, you will enter the state of Filling the Sea, temporarily able to absorb all types of attacks;

All attacks might seem to disappear into you like mud into the sea, and they will make your defense progressively stronger over a period.

Each attack endured will subject you to additional pressure, increasing step by step until you can hardly bear it!

You possess extra spiritual resistance!

You possess enhanced stamina recovery!

You are on high alert!

In this state, your threshold increases, making it harder for you to be breached!

This state will last until you dissipate your shield from exhaustion, or the shield is forcefully broken!

Hissing, Xu Shu took a sharp breath.

“Is this the Transcendent realm’s Golden Bell Shield?

It’s a bit different, this one is clearly stronger, even capable of resisting psychic attacks.

“This perfectly compensates for my weaknesses, so now, even against that Narrow Sleeve Guanyin, I might have a chance to fight…”

Xu Shu was filled with ambition, yet slightly puzzled.

“But why is there a description like ‘on high alert’?”

“This Jingwei…

damn it, did you guard the wrong thing?”

“Vulgar thing!”

Xu Shu dressed, then sat cross-legged on the ground and browsed the upgrade forums for a while.

Today’s world channel was still being flooded with “Recruiting for the new ruins in the Sea of Death.”

Scrolling down a few hundred posts, there seemed to be no difference from before, apart from the various frontline pioneering team’s pleas for help, and the majority was “Exploring the new ruins in the Sea of Death, missing xx profession.”

It was evident.

The ancient ruins that appeared in the Sea of Death must contain valuable items, no doubt in large numbers, otherwise they wouldn’t spark such a frenzy of dungeon runs.

“I really want to go as well…”

“The Sea of Death…

it’s too far.”

Xu Shu silently reminisced.

Earth Star was originally structured with four oceans, but that changed after the Great Catastrophe, turning into five oceans.

Taking the pre-catastrophe borders of Xia Country where Xu Shu was located as a reference point, to the east coast lay the Sea of Death, to the south the Abyssal Sea, to the very north the Arctic Ice Ocean, and across the ocean to the west lay the Violent Sea.

In this era, the oceans had completely slipped out of human control, and the Supervision Bureau could barely maintain a human defense line along the coastal borders.

Among them, the “Mist Sea,” which separated the original Eurasian Plate, connecting the Arctic Ice Ocean in the north and extending south into the Abyss Sea, had completely divided the humans on the eastern and western continents, losing the possibility of fluid interaction.

I heard that Transcendents might be able to do it, though I don’t know how, maybe with an “airplane ticket”?

“I’m already level 6 now, and after leveling up another six times, I can join too!”

Xu Shu’s heart was itching to try; he was about to close the page when he suddenly scrolled to a post with very few replies, which caught his attention.

— Tyrant Spear

“D8B3 west side near the border line?

This, this seems to be exactly where I am right now!”

Xu Shu knew that his area was indeed around the safe zone of D8B3.

And his position should also be on the west side of the safe zone!

That day in Sunrise City, the Scavenger caravan had headed west.

Xu Shu’s eyes lit up.

This guy called “Tyrant Spear,” although choosing to hide his profession and level,

Since he could make a post, he must at least be a level 12 senior Transcendent.

And just look at what he said, “clearing entry-level monsters,” obviously, the monsters that appear in the wasteland shouldn’t pose any threat to him at all.

Now, being stuck here was because he was fighting alone, without any support.

If he could seek help from this big shot, having him nearby to provide support would surely get him out of danger, right?

Honestly, Gu Pan had a point—given any choice, who would want to risk their life leveling up every day?

Moreover, having the Tai Chu Scroll, finding a safe place to bunker down would be the real smart choice!

Now stuck here, he really had no other option, hence he risked his life daily, battling just to increase his chances of surviving.

Suddenly seeing a “netizen” nearby, Xu Shu naturally felt inclined to ask for his help.

He hurriedly clicked on the post.

In the replies section of the post, very few people had responded, with less than twenty comments: Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Brother, what’s up with you?

How valuable are the wasteland monsters?

Leave them for the Patrol Team to clean up so they won’t get reprimanded by the superiors for not having tasks,”—Gu Meng.

“Why run to that godforsaken corner?

Northern area coordinates (3,19) near the border, a small ruins has appeared, I’m lacking a strong output, are you coming?”—Pure Sword Heart, Second Order Weapon Master

“Is there an extra subsidy?

I’m nearby in the east area, if not, I won’t come.”—Ying Zhishan, Second Order Weapon Master

Xu Shu read through all the comments; some chose to hide their professions, while others didn’t mind showing their identities.

But without exception, everyone seemed indifferent about killing low-level monsters in the wasteland.

And “Tyrant Spear,” the post creator, implied through his responses that a friend of his had died here, and he wanted to clear out the monsters so as not to disturb his friend’s peace.

The following comments were like, “Bro, that’s noble, keep it up!”; “There are countless monsters entering the wasteland every day, can you even keep up?

I’m rooting for you.”

It was obvious no one was willing to come.

This made Xu Shu anxious.

Damn it!

Come on!

If you guys clear out the monsters here, I can escape this trap!

Come and save a newbie here, big shots!

However, not being level 12 yet, Xu Shu couldn’t post a reply.

Even when trying to add the person as a friend and send a private message, he was prompted .

“…Damn it, I’m gonna puke.”

“What moron designed these ridiculous permissions!”

Xu Shu was utterly speechless and silently closed the networking webpage.

Faintly, from outside the door, came the sound of Gu Pan shouting.

Probably hungry?

Xu Shu stood up.

I guess that’s enough internet for today.
