All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 73 Tenfold Northern Darkness, Absorption Technique!
In the arena, Qiao Feng was held back by an unknown swordsman player and was unable to offer any assistance.

Apart from Qiao Feng, the others were either unable to participate or had no interest in meddling, and quietly watched as Kumārajīva fought against the players of the Four Seas Guild.

"Miss Wang, can you figure out his tactics?"

The storm raged and Wang Yuyan was questioned.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan shook her head and said, "I feel that the figure of that mysterious person is somewhat familiar, as if I have seen him somewhere before, but the martial arts he used are all ones I have never seen before. Besides, the matter of resurrection is too mysterious. No matter how strong one's martial arts are, how can one do such a thing?"

This is what everyone thinks.

What Kumārajīva is now displaying is beyond what an ordinary person should have; his resurrection is simply like that of a god.

However, after he was resurrected and fought again, everyone discovered that he was not a god: apart from the fact that his resurrection was too mysterious, his own martial arts skills were actually not very high.

Duan Yanqing felt that if he went up there, he should be able to exchange blows with the opponent.

Murong Fu felt that with his cousin's guidance, he should be able to defeat that person.

As for Qiao Feng, he was surprised: "This person has such an incredible ability to resurrect, so how come his martial arts are only so-so? His palm techniques and claw techniques are not very proficient!"

However, that only applies to Qiao Feng.

For the players of the Four Seas Guild, Kumārajīva, who was no longer taking things lightly, gradually became unsolvable: there were several people among them whose power was comparable to his, and there was also one person whose power was higher than his.

But when it really came down to a fight, a group of people against him were all at a disadvantage.

"Truly worthy of being number one on both lists!"

"Something!"

Many players secretly acknowledged "Chu Xiu" in their hearts, but the truly top players all noticed something was wrong, because what he showed wasn't "abnormal" enough.

Putting everything else aside, Chu Xiu is a Marquis of Wu, so his spiritual power must have reached over two hundred.

But what about their performance?
Absolutely not!

Therefore, the true masters remain hidden and do not make a move.

Chu Xiu couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself, "Having Kumārajīva impersonate me might fool some people, but it won't fool top-tier players."

Thinking of this, he shook his head and stopped hiding it.

They charged forward and attacked everyone in the world.

However, he did not speak in his own name, but as Kumārajīva, adhering to his established persona, saying, "At the martial arts tournament, where I, Kumārajīva, spar with heroes from all over the world, how could I be absent? Take this Arhat Fist!"

After saying that, he threw a punch, instantly killing the "Emperor Duan" player who had been severely injured by Kumārajīva.

The real Kumārajīva was completely baffled.

But immediately, Chu Xiu used the Flame Blade technique he had only recently learned to finish off a player from a distance, and then used the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" to kill another player in close combat.

Kumārajīva was no longer confused.

He was secretly grateful: "Senior, is this your primordial spirit manifested in my form to help me?"

The two joined forces to wipe out the players from all over the world.

During this time, Chu Xiu was always on guard against other players taking action. He even prepared to use the "Mark of the Heavens" ability to temporarily "leave the circle to resist the poison" if he was attacked by a group and was unable to resist it!

That way, players will think he's a native.

Leaving the circle for a short period of time wouldn't consume much of his luck, and he could afford it.

However, to Chu Xiu's surprise, even though he and Kumārajīva joined forces and killed all the players of the Four Seas Guild one by one, getting a full ten kills, no player still came forward.

Playing it safe is much more stable than in the first-tier dungeon.

"Also, it seems like there aren't enough resources for development in this game?"

In the dungeon, only the "one year" of internal energy within the dungeon will be revealed. The leader of the Four Seas Guild, who had two hundred years of internal energy, was killed by Chu Xiu, and he only had one year of internal energy left.

Ten heads, in the Three Kingdoms era, would have been enough to make a fortune long ago.

But it didn't.

Upgrading would only increase the level by one, so he chose to put all the points into the minor skill "Northern Darkness Divine Art," successfully breaking its limit.

The results were quite unexpected.

It wasn't that he reached the tenth level of the "Northern Darkness Divine Art," but rather that he changed the skill, transforming it into the first level of the "Energy Absorption Technique." Yes, that's right, the Energy Absorption Technique.

In the higher-level world of "The World's Number One", there is the one named Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu Wushi!
It is also divided into nine levels. The lower limit of the first level's effect is the upper limit of the Beiming Divine Art, which can absorb energy from a distance with a conversion rate of 100%.

After reaching the fourth level, one can absorb objects from a distance, the size of which depends on internal force.

The seventh level allows one to "infuse power," which is the move "Flying Dragon in the Sky" from the original work, turning the stone statue into a living being that can be controlled to launch attacks.

Very powerful.

But each advancement requires ten years of practice!

"In that case, even if we kill all 255 players, wouldn't we still not be able to max out our level and this Absorbing Power Technique?" Chu Xiu wondered.

But then he shook his head.

Resources in the multiverse game wouldn't be so tightly controlled; otherwise, if it's this difficult for him, how are other players supposed to develop? They can't all just spend money on Earth!
"No, resources aren't like kills. New players only have one year's worth of power. What about after ten years?"

Those 256 people represent 2,000 years of cultivation; the resources would be more than enough!

Another point is that the "Northern Darkness Divine Art" can absorb the power of the "natives". Although the absorbed power will be directly added to the "internal strength" and cannot be used to upgrade or add points.

But these are real attributes.

For other players, reaching 200 points of internal energy is the limit, no matter what method they use, and they can't improve it any further. But for Chu Xiu, there is no limit!
At this point, he finally understood how to play his game.

That means all the power points obtained from players that can be added are used to add points to skills. As for internal energy, it is obtained entirely through "power absorption" and is never added to.

The ranking system is no longer needed.

Permanent Level 1.

If you don't use your ultimate skill, just pretend you didn't.

Upgrade the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, Lingbo Steps, and Lesser Formless Skill to their ultimate levels, until they can no longer be improved!

"The way skills are unlocked in this world is different from that in the Three Kingdoms world. So, if the 'Absorption Technique' reaches its maximum level, what will be the next level up?"

He had a premonition that it was very likely that a super high-level world would be created, something extremely extraordinary!
"There's not a single person in the Central Plains martial arts world who can fight. It's boring!"

After taking the head, Chu Xiu flashed back into the crowd, while Kumārajīva continued to challenge the "prodigies of various sects".

"Is there anyone else who dares to come up?"

"A friendly spar is supposed to end when the point is reached, but those people attacked first and tried to kill us, otherwise they wouldn't be dead! The rest of you can come without worry, you won't be killed!!"

This arrogant attitude made many players grit their teeth.

But no one stepped forward.

Everyone was afraid of being attacked by a mob, including the swordsman who had his sights set on Qiao Feng.

Not long after, screams rang out from among the players—a veiled woman dressed in blue had brazenly stepped forward and begun to eliminate the other players!
Yes, cleaning, just like mowing the lawn.

"What kind of person is that?" Bao Butong asked in surprise.

"It seems to be the swordsmanship of the Yue Nu lineage, but it's completely different from what I know, far more exquisite!" Wang Yuyan shook her head and said, "Never face her. That person's sword is more terrifying than any martial art I've ever seen. Even Qiao Feng's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms from the Beggar Clan is inferior!"

Perhaps only the legendary Six Meridian Divine Sword can be compared to it.

Wang Yuyan thought to herself.

With the interference of the "Yue female player", the other players also became bolder and began to fight each other, no longer focusing on "Chu Xiu".

Just then, a young man carrying a long sword came out.

It was the one who locked onto Qiao Feng with his sword intent.

As he walked toward Kumārajīva, he recited: "Zhao guest with a silk tassel, Wu hook sword gleaming like frost and snow, silver saddle on white horse... Who can write the Tai Xuan Jing for you, old man with white hair!"

After showing off for a while, he took out the sword from his back.

It points to Kumārajīva.

He then said, "Ye Lingxian, the successor of Tai Xuan, wielding the immortal sword Qinglian, requests to challenge Marquis Wu!"
