Chapter 61 The End of Perfect Swordsmanship... Is a Big Gift!
Everyone's breath stopped at that moment.
Their eyes were fixed on the huge satellite map of China.
The three areas marked with bright red halos were like three nails, deeply driven into the hearts of everyone present.
Northwest, Southwest, Qinling Mountains.
"The site was chosen in the northwest, in the heart of the Taklamakan Desert."
The old academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering spoke in a calm and steady voice.
"The advantages are its vast territory, sparse population, huge strategic depth, and natural isolation, which facilitates the implementation of the highest level of physical blockade."
"The disadvantages are equally obvious: the environment is harsh, the logistical supply line is too long, resources are extremely scarce, and everything has to start from scratch."
The scene shifts, and the camera zooms in on a mountain range shrouded in mist.
"The chosen site in the southwest is located in the core uninhabited area of the Hengduan Mountains. Its advantages are that it is naturally fortified, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the surrounding area is rich in biological and mineral resources."
"The downside is that the geological structure is complex, the engineering difficulty increases exponentially, and the development cycle will be more than three times that of the Northwest."
Finally, the image freezes on the majestic mountain range that stretches across China from east to west.
Qinling.
The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became incredibly subtle.
"Qinling Mountains..." The old academician's voice also became solemn.
"The dragon vein of China, which has established its dominance in the Central Plains."
"The advantages are its central strategic location, which allows it to radiate influence throughout the country, and its spiritual energy... According to our preliminary estimates, the concentration of spiritual energy in this area may be the highest in the future."
"But its weakness is also fatal."
"Being closest to densely populated areas, even the slightest energy leak could cause irreparable catastrophic consequences."
"This is a high-stakes gamble where risks and opportunities coexist."
Each of the three locations has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Li Guoan looked away from the map, offering no choice.
"The site selection must be approached with utmost care, and the planning team will continue to conduct in-depth analysis."
"But the preliminary preparations can't wait even a day."
As for the final conclusion... we still need to discuss it with the other people.
"Chen You".
Li Guoan's gaze shifted to Chen You, becoming incredibly profound.
"The road ahead may be more difficult than we anticipated."
"But no matter how difficult it may be, we're determined to build this business!"
"You have two main tasks ahead of you."
"First, improve your cultivation level as soon as possible."
"The attribute boosts from leveling up are too limited; only the path of cultivation is the foundation for your survival."
"The second level of Qi Refining is far from enough."
"Second, establish a guild."
"Just take some time to learn about the relevant tasks; do the simple ones."
"As for the Worldstone, since the system wants us to use it, it will inevitably release more fragments."
"You don't need to search for it deliberately. Just keep getting stronger, and I think... it will come to you on its own."
If the system doesn't take the initiative, then make adjustments.
"Understood." Chen You nodded emphatically.
His heart was pounding, not from fear, but from a strange, inexplicable excitement.
Especially when looking at those three places on the map.
He was originally just an ordinary person, but now he has become the fulcrum that has propelled the entire civilization forward.
"Go ahead," Li Guoan waved his hand.
"Leave the real-world preparations to us; all you need to do is... play the game!"
……
Welcome back to the Origin Realm, cultivator.
Chen You reappeared in the lobby of the Supreme Building.
He immediately opened the system panel.
The icons in the friends list are flashing red at an almost manic frequency.
[99+]
This even includes some of the top-ranked players.
However, Chen You didn't care at all and didn't even look at who it was.
Swipe your finger across the screen and click "Reject All".
His gaze fell on the skills interface.
[Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique]
【First Move: Startling Beauty (Proficiency: 98.3%)】
It's less than two percent short of the final goal.
Chen You's eyes narrowed slightly.
Director Li is right; perspective is the most important thing.
But improving one's level is a gradual process that cannot be rushed.
On the contrary, this skill has reached the final stage.
Let's max it out first and see what the difference is between the complete Heavenly Rank cultivation technique and its full form!
What will happen after you've mastered the training?
Chen You made a decision instantly without hesitation and turned to look at Hill.
"Dear VIP member, what do you need me to do?" Hill bowed slightly, his smile flawless.
Chen You didn't utter a single unnecessary word.
"Practice room, ten hours a day."
100 gold coins were directly deducted.
"Okay, this way please!"
Hill hurriedly bowed and led the way to the entrance of the Supreme Training Room.
……
This time, we arrived at a floating platform, where a dense spiritual energy, almost tangible, rushed towards us.
Chen You walked to the central control panel and gently swiped his finger across the monster list.
Finally, I stopped at the option of [LV15 Skeleton Swordsman and Shieldbearer].
He was four grades ahead of him.
This monster has bones as hard as refined iron, wields a heavy bone shield in its left hand, and a sharp bone knife in its right.
A combination of offense and defense is a nightmare for all physical classes.
"You're the one."
He selected the maximum number "six" and then pressed [Start].
hum!
On the platform's ground, six magic circles lit up simultaneously, spreading a chilling aura.
Six two-meter-tall, deathly white skeletal monsters slowly rose from the magic circle.
Two eerie blue flames of the soul suddenly ignited in the empty eye sockets, instantly locking onto Chen You in the center.
"Click! Click! Click!"
They marched with heavy steps, holding up their bone shields, forming a semi-circular encirclement.
Full of oppression.
Chen You's expression remained unchanged; he simply stood quietly in place.
Just as the skeletal swordsman entered attack range and raised his bone sword to prepare to strike—
Chen You moved.
His figure vanished from the spot in an instant, like a phantom.
A faint, almost invisible, silvery sword light flashed and disappeared in the air.
"A stunning sight!"
laugh!
The sword light did not strike any particular skeleton, but instead weaved, leaped, and connected among the six skeletal swordsmen and shieldmen in a strange arc!
The sword light was so fast that it even surpassed the speed of sound.
one second.
Just one second.
The six menacing skeletal swordsmen and shieldmen froze in place.
next second.
Click... click click...
A series of cracking sounds suddenly rang out!
Those six skeletons, harder than refined iron, looked as if they had been cut by the most precise laser.
From head to toe, from bone blade to bone shield, it was instantly pulverized.
[You have defeated a LV15 Skeleton Swordsman and Shieldbearer, gaining 1600 experience points.]
You have killed...
A series of notifications flashed across the screen.
Chen You glanced at his spiritual power value; 20 points had been consumed.
It's irrelevant.
"Again!"
Six skeletal swordsmen and shieldmen have respawned.
He became completely immersed in this monotonous yet efficient cycle, forgetting about time and everything else.
At first, it required deliberate execution, but later, with a mere thought, the sword light would spontaneously arise.
That "startling" sword light seemed to come alive in his hands.
Sometimes they are like a cunning snake emerging from its hole, cunning and ruthless.
Sometimes it appears as if a celestial being has descended from the heavens, ethereal and untraceable.
On the skill panel, the final progress bar was steadily advancing, bit by bit.
99.2%...
99.5%...
99.8%...
After an unknown amount of time, Chen You once again cleared the entire arena with a single sword strike and stood there, sheathing his sword.
His body jolted violently.
In my mind, it was as if an invisible windowpane had been quietly pierced.
【Ding! 】
A crisp and pleasant system notification sound rang out deep within his mind.
Your "Stunning Beauty" move proficiency has reached 100% (Perfect)!
However, before Chen You could even process what was happening...
Almost simultaneously, an even grander and more solemn system voice followed!
An icon popped up without warning.
[Congratulations on reaching the true essence of the "Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique"! A special gift pack for your ultimate advancement is presented!]
