Chapter 398: Gao Shun's Breakthrough
September 25, 2017
Amongst Gao Shun, Dian Wei, and Pan Feng, who was the luckiest of the three?
This question remained unanswered for now, but there was no doubt that Pan Feng had the worst luck.
As the three of them simultaneously opened the large doors, Gao Shun stepped inside. Behind the door was a small, enclosed room, about a hundred square feet in size, with a long sword nearly three meters in length resting in its center. When Dian Wei opened his door, standing behind it was a man he had fought twice before.
The unluckiest of them all, Pan Feng, upon opening his door, found himself face-to-face with Cheng Yi. It was evident that Cheng Yi had been directly teleported out of the endless labyrinth, and his misfortune was second only to Lu HaiKong's.
While Pan Feng was teleported out of the endless chamber, Gao Shun, upon seeing the sword, was drawn to it as if by an unseen force.
On the rack where the sword was placed, Gao Shun read the following inscription:
Iron Blood Drink
Equipment Level: Legendary
Equipment Requirement: Heritage Bonding
Equipment Effect: ???
Legend has it that this sword, forged from a meteorite, is a Demon Weapon representing slaughter. The more it kills, the stronger it becomes, and it comes with a complementary technique.
Gao Shun didn't fully comprehend the description on the sword rack, but he didn't need to. His instincts were already guiding him to take action.
In reality, Gao Shun was a man of exceptional talent. He shouldn't have been, and couldn't have been, held back by the threshold of Strength 79. The only reason he was stuck at this level was that the technique he cultivated was unsuitable for him.
The sword technique Gao Shun currently practiced was one he obtained after defeating Pei Yuan Shao in the Shrine of Heroes and acquiring the Heroic Soul Chart. Pei Yuan Shao's technique was not bad, but it genuinely didn't suit Gao Shun. Lu HaiKong's territory indeed lacked a suitable sword technique for Gao Shun, which was why Gao Shun's strength had stagnated at 79.
However, as Gao Shun picked up the Iron Blood Drink, an unknown technique suddenly appeared in his mind, and his inner energy began to surge uncontrollably...
Meanwhile, as Gao Shun experienced this transformation, Dian Wei had already engaged in combat.
The person who appeared before Dian Wei was none other than Lu Bu, with whom he had fought twice before. Of course, the Lu Bu in the endless labyrinth was not the real Lu Bu; the real Lu Bu was likely wreaking havoc on the grasslands at that moment.
The Lu Bu before Dian Wei had a strength value of 93, matching Dian Wei's current strength. In half a year, Dian Wei's strength had increased slightly. In fact, Dian Wei could be considered as being dragged along by Lu HaiKong, as he had been running around with Li Xiong during this time, working tirelessly. It was evident from his efforts that he managed to improve his strength even under such circumstances.
Naturally, the reason for Dian Wei's tireless efforts over the past six months was to defeat Lu Bu!
Ever since Dian Wei joined Lu HaiKong's side, he had always been Lu HaiKong's trump card and the most powerful force in Lu HaiKong's hands. Before encountering Lu Bu, he had never let Lu HaiKong down. However, he had lost twice against Lu Bu.
Lu HaiKong could forgive him for these losses, but Dian Wei couldn't forgive himself. His efforts over the past six months were all for the purpose of defeating Lu Bu, and now that 'Lu Bu' appeared before him, he fought with all his might.
Two beings with a Strength of 93 engaged in an all-out battle would undoubtedly cause significant destruction if they were outside. While their combat might not be capable of destroying the heavens and earth, it would still be incredibly formidable.
The aftermath of their fight would resemble a site bombarded by artillery shells. However, within the endless labyrinth, their intense battle caused no such destruction.
Dian Wei, engrossed in the heat of battle, paid no heed to this. He was solely focused on defeating the enemy before him.
Judging by the current situation, it seemed unlikely that the fight between Dian Wei and Lu Bu would conclude anytime soon.
While Dian Wei was engaged in combat, Lu HaiKong's circumstances took a turn for the worse. The automaton beast behind him was similar to the previous ones, possessing incredible speed and the ability to swiftly lock onto Lu HaiKong. Regardless of which direction Lu HaiKong ran, it would catch up, never losing sight of him.
In this situation, Lu HaiKong appeared flustered. He regretted not bringing the Moon Chasing Bow on this trip, as it would have prevented him from being in such a predicament.
For now, Lu HaiKong could only keep running.
The thought of turning back to fight that opponent was somewhat unrealistic. With a Strength of 89 and equipment that was undoubtedly of at least the Excellent grade, Lu HaiKong knew he had little chance of victory.
Lu HaiKong was not one to be chased around helplessly. Once he realized his escape was unlikely, he began to consciously search for the most advantageous combat position.
After some time, Lu HaiKong found a suitable location.
Meanwhile, Gao Shun's situation was also changing.
As Gao Shun's inner energy surged, a faint heat emanated from his body. Suddenly, the secret room before him transformed, changing from a confined space to an open plain. Across from Gao Shun appeared an uncountable number of soldiers.
Gao Shun's eyes turned red, and with a swing of his Iron Blood Drink, he charged forward, directly engaging the enemy forces.
For the past half a year, Gao Shun had primarily focused on military management, and actual combat experience was relatively scarce, especially in situations like this where the number of enemies was unknown.
As the battle commenced, Gao Shun's blood boiled with excitement. Every strike of his Iron Blood Drink increased his blood's heat and his combat power.
With each swing of his blade, Gao Shun became more ferocious and ruthless. By the end of the battle, his originally composed demeanor had vanished, replaced by a crazed and ferocious aura.
Gao Shun relentlessly swung his sword, slaying one enemy after another. He had lost count of how many he had killed.
When Gao Shun finally regained his senses, not a single enemy stood before him. As he stood tall on the battlefield, a powerful aura surged from his body at the battle's conclusion, and his Strength value smoothly broke through the 80 barrier...
