Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

"Ho..."

The minotaur warrior stared wide-eyed at the large, gaping hole in his chest before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

But this is just the beginning.

Lu Jiawu struck successfully and yanked his spear back sharply.

Then, the tip of the gun drew an arc in mid-air and suddenly flicked upwards at an angle that no one could predict.

"Shh!"

A huge werewolf head shot into the air in an instant, spraying warm blood all over the ground.

It wasn't until this moment that the beastmen around them, who had been stunned by the old man's shocking entrance, finally snapped out of their daze and came to their senses.

"Kill him, chop this old bastard to pieces."

Dozens of weapons, accompanied by a whistling sound, simultaneously slashed fiercely at Lu Jiawu's vital points from all directions.

Faced with this deadly attack, Lu Jiawu showed no panic whatsoever; instead, his eyes blazed with an unprecedented fervor.

His footsteps were seemingly chaotic, but actually subtly aligned with the eight trigrams.

That body, in that instant, became as slippery as an eel.

He slightly shifted his body to the side, dodging a heavy sword that was about to strike him down.

Then, with a backhand kick, the Purple Gold Crown's right leg, covered by his boot, struck the attacker's chin hard, sending him flying into the air.

Immediately afterwards, the spear in Lu Jiawu's hand transformed into a sky full of spear shadows.

He didn't need to use any system skills that consumed magic power; relying solely on his deep-rooted muscle memory and pure killing skills, he moved through the dense horde of beastmen like a dragon, fighting and killing.

Every swing of the sword takes away a precious life.

Each movement allows you to evade the enemy's fatal attacks.

"Wow, is this a real-life martial arts master? His movement and skill combos are so seamless, there's no pre-cast animation at all."

Lu Chen, who was frantically attacking from the sidelines, couldn't help but swallow hard as he watched his grandfather's artistic killing performance.

Although his marksmanship was taught by his grandfather, he realized that he was still a long way from his grandfather in terms of adaptability in this kind of combat environment where he was surrounded.

Xu Tian, ​​standing on the other side, raised an eyebrow as he watched Lu Jiawu, who, despite being engrossed in the fight, was constantly dodging attacks based on instinct.

As he swung his spear and pierced through an orc charging at him, he shouted loudly at Lu Jiawu, who was dodging and weaving through the crowd.

"Grandpa, don't just rely on your agility and marksmanship. You're wearing top-tier armor, so you need to utilize the abilities of your equipment in this game. For some non-lethal damage, there's no need to waste time dodging. Just take it head-on and let the armor's damage reflection debuff deflect the damage back. That's definitely more effective than stabbing yourself in the back."

Hearing Xu Tian's loud reminder, Lu Jiawu, who was about to shoot an orc mage away with a single spear thrust, was slightly taken aback.

Although he was a martial arts fanatic, he was not the kind of stubborn, ignorant person who was stuck in his ways.

Conversely, those who reach the Grandmaster level often have a stronger understanding of power and a greater ability to accept new things than ordinary people.

He naturally understood Xu Tian's meaning: in this virtual world, the attribute panels and affixes of equipment are the most basic and core combat power.

The true path to victory lies in perfectly combining one's martial arts skills with game equipment.

"Alright, I'll give this old man a try and see what this counter-damage is all about."

Lu Jiawu shouted and immediately changed his battle strategy.

Facing a first-tier orc swinging an iron hammer from the side, Lu Jiawu had already made a muscle memory-like dodge, and even his spear was ready to counterattack.

But at Xu Tian's prompting, he forcibly suppressed his instinct to dodge, directly removing the spear's defense and letting the heavy iron hammer slam into his breastplate.

"clang!"

He didn't feel any intense pain when the hammer struck him.

And at that very moment.

His armor suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

The impact that should have been absorbed was amplified several times over by the counter-damage attribute, transforming into a violent recoil that surged back towards the orc along the iron hammer.

"boom!"

The orc, who had been convinced he had succeeded, felt as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed train traveling at 200 kilometers per hour.

It exploded into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air, and the iron hammer was shattered into pieces, with the fragments piercing through several of its companions.

Seeing the terrifying destructive effect before him, which required no effort and didn't even need him to lift a finger, Lu Jiawu's eyes gleamed with an unprecedented light.

"Haha, not bad, really not bad."

Lu Jiawu laughed excitedly, looking up at the sky. With a sweep of his spear, he cut several more terrified orcs in half at the waist.

He exclaimed in admiration.

"The combination of old and new, strength and gentleness, the equipment enchantment in this virtual world, paired with my ancient martial arts killing skills, is simply like adding wings to a tiger. I have completely figured out how to play this game."

Seeing the old man's terrifyingly efficient clearing of the area, as if he had cheated, Xu Tian revealed a genuine smile beneath his mask.

In the entire Eshilia, and even across the entire game server, the only ones who can be considered top-tier combatants at this stage are Xu Tian and Lu Chen, two freaks who spare no expense to cram in money and stack up their ultimate attributes.

Most other players, no matter how skilled they are, how skillful they are, or how creative they are, cannot compete with each other.

Chapter 235 Extracting Terms from Four Attributes

However, when facing bosses with monstrous stats, players often fail to break through their defenses and perish due to missing equipment stats or insufficient panel attributes.

But it is different now.

Lu Chen's grandfather, Lu Jiawu, who also possessed financial power and was a martial arts grandmaster, joined the group.

This means that a third super pillar of strength and equipment has emerged out of nowhere, capable of consistently ranking among the top in the entire server and withstanding any boss.

Allowing the old man to quickly familiarize himself with the various mechanics and rules of the game through these battles with mobs is undoubtedly the wisest way to train him.

As Xu Tian was reaping the monsters around him, his mind involuntarily began to wander.

"Since the Lu family is so powerful, and he is a leading figure in the ancient martial arts world of China, his friends, disciples, and former subordinates must all be wealthy, powerful, and formidable individuals. If we could get through the old man to bring in another batch of such high-quality players..."

However, the moment this thought arose in Xu Tian's mind, he decisively rejected it.

"Never mind."

Xu Tian shook his head inwardly.

"What Eshilia lacks now is not just high-end combat power, but logistics, scientific research and management talents in all walks of life."

Xu Tian recalled the large group of human NPCs he had rescued from Blackrock Fortress, whose education was currently limited to literacy and primary school levels.

"We, the Fourth Scourge, can handle the fighting, but we can't always rely on players to build their territories and revive their civilizations by using blocks."

"Preparations for middle school, high school, and university must begin. This group of humans is the foundation for the territory to achieve self-sufficiency and establish a complete ecological cycle. As long as the education system for the first batch of native NPCs is established, a continuous stream of talent will emerge from Eisheria in the future. This is the true path to victory..."

Just as Xu Tian's thoughts were wandering, planning his grand blueprint for the territory.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, a violent commotion broke out in the orc encirclement in the distance.

The low-level magical beasts that were frantically attacking Xu Tian and his companions seemed to have heard a command and stopped their attacks.

With expressions of awe, they resolutely stepped aside, making way for a wide passage.

A dozen or so figures, each radiating terrifying magical energy that sent chills down one's spine, and of unusually large and varied sizes, slowly emerged from the passage.

Leading the group was the lizardman with a pair of huge fleshy wings, along with several giant bear warriors as burly as small mountains.

Each of them exuded a powerful aura that only third-tier magical beasts possessed.

The combined aura of these dozen or so Tier 3 magical beasts was even stronger than that of Zhu Shitian back then.

Xu Tian immediately snapped out of his reverie, his eyes instantly becoming incredibly sharp.

He casually twirled his spear, then his aura suddenly hardened.

"Here he comes, the main character has finally shown up."

Xu Tian stared intently at the dozen or so third-tier magical beasts in front of him and whispered to the two people beside him.

"Ready? Warm-up over. Now it's time to go all out."

Lu Chen also took a deep breath, his playful expression vanishing, and his face became extremely serious.

However, just as a major battle was about to break out.

Xu Tian then made a move that surprised everyone.

With a flick of his wrist, he actually put the long spear, which had accompanied him in his rampages and possessed excellent attributes, back into his backpack.

Then, he reached out and grabbed at the air, slowly pulling out a very simple-looking longsword from his backpack.

This longsword has a slender blade, without any ornate magical gems inlaid in it, nor does it emit any dazzling light or color resembling elemental attributes such as fire or frost.

It's like a very ordinary, standard iron sword that's just been forged in a blacksmith's shop, so simple and unadorned that it's almost shabby.

Upon seeing this piece of junk that exuded no magical energy, the dozen or so third-tier magical beasts on the other side, who had initially been on high alert, were stunned for a moment before bursting into a deafening, unrestrained jeer.

"Hahaha, I thought the humans who dared to destroy our foundations were really that capable."

The winged lizardman leader clutched his stomach, laughing so hard tears were almost streaming down his face. He pointed at the ordinary iron sword in Xu Tian's hand, his tone filled with undisguised contempt and sarcasm.

"An ordinary longsword without even the lowest level of magic runes? Are you kidding us? Do you think you can use this kitchen knife to cut through the magic shield that we, as third-tier magical beasts, are so proud of? That's utterly ridiculous."

The orc guards around him burst into laughter, looking at Xu Tian as if he were an idiot.

However, when Lu Chen, who was standing on the opposite side of this group of magical beasts, saw the seemingly ordinary sword in Xu Tian's hand, his eyes immediately became serious.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

"That is……"

Lu Chen's voice was filled with shock. He pointed at the long sword in Xu Tian's hand and let out a gasp.

"That's a sword with four [Attribute Extraction] entries?"

As soon as Lu Chen said this...

Not only was Lu Jiawu stunned, but even the players watching in Xu Tian's live first-person perspective broadcast room fell into a brief silence.

After a brief silence, the live stream chat exploded with an unprecedented volume of comments.
