Chapter 140: Chapter 2 Ghost Soldiers, Yin General, Yin King, Yin Saint, Yin? (Added for the Silver Alliance AdenJ!)

New gameplay!

Have my brothers truly come to strike me down?

Xu Shu glanced left and right, and, in an unnoticed corner, he sat cross-legged and opened the [Conquest Mode] (Heavenly Eye/Superdimension), carefully examining it.

[Conquest·Heavenly Eye]: By using one opportunity, you can enter the conquest with yourself as the coordinate, foresee the future, simulate the outcomes, and enjoy an entirely authentic experience. The longer you survive in the conquest, the greater your deeds, the higher your rating.

"It seems, the Heavenly Eye mode is what I’ve been using all along."

"Heavenly Eye, seeing through the future, predicting heavenly secrets? Indeed, there’s something to it."

"However, the Heavenly Eye mode can’t be used in the ruins!

"In the ruins, the conquest transforms into this new mode..."

Xu Shu focused his thoughts on the Superdimension.

[Conquest·Superdimension]: Once you enter the ruins and begin the conquest, using one opportunity, the Tai Chu Scroll will enter the [Superdimensional Observation State], gaining superdimensional vision! The Tai Chu Scroll will protect you, strategize for you, and see through everything for you!

When you’re killed, if you have at least one remaining opportunity, the Tai Chu Scroll will mark your ’place of death’ and protect you by entering the superdimensional state!

In the superdimensional state, you cannot be observed or divined!

Use 1 opportunity to maintain the superdimensional state for 4 hours; you can use up to 2 opportunities to maintain it for 8 hours.

You can choose to end it early or wait until the time automatically expires.

After the superdimensional state ends, you will resurrect on the spot, fully revived!

The observational state of the Tai Chu Scroll will not end early unless you are completely dead or are taken alive out of the ruins.

——

"This Superdimensional Mode..."

After reading the introduction to this mode, Xu Shu concluded—it’s strong, unbeatable!

You see, during his usual Heavenly Eye mode, when he simulated dying, the journey would end, although it was like having three lives, with three options, but the fourth path was completely uncertain.

But this Superdimensional Mode, although strictly speaking had "one less life" than the Heavenly Eye Mode, the difference is, in this mode, Xu Shu wouldn’t actually die, he could use opportunities to ’die’ and continue his life.

Moreover, it provided him with a 4-hour super safe house each time, and even revived him at full health.

Xu Shu could even imagine such a scene:

He and the boss in the ruins had their ultimate showdown, evenly matched in strength, but ultimately the boss had the advantage of time and place and struck him down;

Just when the blood-soaked victory appeared imminent for the boss, about to reap his spoils of war, he’d watch helplessly as Xu Shu’s body vanished into thin air, then reappear as a fully revived Xu Shu—undoubtedly, the boss would have quite the expression then!

"Ha, it’s a pity such a Heavenly Defiance Conquest Mode can only be used in ruins; that’s a limitation too."

"If it could be activated anytime, with Superdimension, I’d be in high comfort indeed."

"But it’s a trade-off."

At this moment, Xu Shu’s confidence soared.

Originally, he had been somewhat apprehensive about this trip to the ruins, even debating whether to go at all.

His foster father’s illness was basically resolved, and if Gu Pan’s two million wasn’t enough, he could always extort a bit more from her—a matter mostly settled now; he was just waiting for his inexpensive teacher to raise the funds.

And for leveling up, Xu Shu naturally chose the safest method, managing things his own way.

But now, things were different.

The Tai Chu Scroll’s Conquest·Superdimension was so strong and his teammates were also confident, all seasoned in grinding instances.

Already being a level 12 Legendary Warrior, though only a First Order Transcendent, he had two victories against Second Rank enemies.

With all these factors, Xu Shu naturally felt a surge of confidence.

If with such confidence he still feared tackling an instance, his spirit wouldn’t be clear; better to buy a block of tofu and bash his head against it.

"With that settled, I should hit the road."

Xu Shu rose, threw his Narrow Sleeve Guanyin wrapped around his waist a flip, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "Off we go, Bodhisattva bless!"

"..." Guanyin couldn’t speak, but her tightly closed eyes said it all.

Xu Shu noticed that sometimes her eyes would open, ruby-like, stunningly beautiful, while under the sun they’d be completely shut.

Those eyes were the only movable part proving that she was still ’alive’.

Before long, the familiar Patrol Team appeared again.

Xu Shu wore a mask, walked over with a smile, blocking the path and said cheerily, "Captain, I am Pure Sword Heart Song Nianhui. Seeing that your magnificent horse-drawn carriage is destined for me, it should rightly be mine."

The captain was stunned at first, then let out a pitiful scream: "Ah? Ah—"

Xu Shu didn’t know what kind of Transcendent this guy was, but he was very weak, so he directly kicked him out of his beloved BMW.

Then, without any pity, Xu Shu brutally placed his entire large body into the seat, stuffing it full.

"Wuu~!" The sound of the car’s throttle was like a pitiful, melodious wail.

Xu Shu floored the accelerator and roared away~

Leaving only the captain’s despairing and indignant cry behind: "Damn it, Song Nianhui dares to steal my horse!"

...

An hour later, on the Wasteland.

"I see this Beautiful Snake still has some charm, pity I have things to do, otherwise I’d tie her up, different kinds of monsters are really easy to bully."

Xu Shu walked out of some ruins, his hand damp, clutching a green level 7 Beautiful Snake’s Erosion Crystal.
