From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS

Chapter 55: One United Body

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After killing Li Zongwen, Qin Shujian shifted his target to someone else.

Even though he couldn’t see each player’s actual attributes, there was no way to cover up the sort of strength that each player had.

The higher their level of cultivation, the stronger their qi and blood would be.

Those players who were at Martial Entry-Level Four and Martial Entry-Level Five were as eye-catching as a bright light in the dark night to Qin Shujian.

And so, when all the players were running for their lives, he immediately locked his target on all high-level players.

He had now reached Martial Entry-Level Ten.

Qin Shujian’s physical body had reached a frightening level.

It had brought with it an ability to move at a speed that was so incredible, it made one despair.

Swoosh!!

Qin Shujian’s body moved at an extremely high speed.

His Tiger Head Blade was like the sickle of the grim reaper as it continued to harvest the players he targeted.

As long as you were a player he targeted, you wouldn’t get a chance to escape regardless of how powerful you were.

“D*mn it!” Fu Moyan cursed as he could see the blade that would cost him his life come towards him.

And after that, he was thoroughly drowned out by the gleam of the blade.

This was already the second time he had died at Qin Shujian’s hands.

He had dropped by two stages consecutively, and it made Fu Moyan’s heart hurt so badly he felt it was difficult to breathe.

The massacre continued for more than half an hour.

When Qin Shujian’s blade killed off the last player, he finally stopped moving.

Right now, there was no trace of any players in the vicinity.

The entire area was a mess.

All the items that were left behind after the players died were scattered all over the place.

“Chieftain!” Niu Feng came over to him and spoke with much reverence in his voice.

He had seen how Qin Shujian launched a massive attack in all directions earlier, and this image was deeply etched in his brain.

If he was faced with so many outlanders, Niu Feng began to ask himself very seriously if he could have handled them, and the answer was no.

Even if he got all of Mount Mingai to help him, it would have been difficult for him to fight them.

But even though the opponent was so strong, Qin Shujian alone was sufficient to send all of them scattering and running for their lives.

Qin Shujian looked around him. Niu Feng and Xu Yuanming were both injured, and the team of Mountain Bandits had suffered quite a considerable loss. They were now left with 23 people.

But these 23 Mountain Bandits were at least at Martial Entry-Level Two in terms of capability.

There were even five of them who reached Martial Entry-Level Three.

So after making some calculations, this current team of Mountain Bandits was now even more potent than the full team earlier.

It was clear how many players these Mountain Bandits must have killed.

“Take all the useful things from the ground and we’ll head towards Messy Gold Mountain!”

“Yes, Chieftain!” Niu Feng and Xu Yuanming both responded respectfully once they had received the order.

They quickly ordered the remaining Mountain Bandits to go around picking up all the weapons that the players left behind after dying, as well as all sorts of strange and curious items.

After identifying which ones were useful and which ones were not, they could throw some things away and bring the rest with them.

“Wait a minute!” Qin Shujian suddenly spoke up.

Niu Feng asked in confusion, “Chieftain?”

“Pass that thing over there to me.” Qin Shujian pointed at a bronze-colored token that had fallen on the ground, not too far away from himself.

The bronze token was mixed in among the grass.

If his eyesight weren’t at an incredible level, nobody might have noticed it.

Upon hearing this, Niu Feng immediately went to pick that token up and passed it to Qin Shujian.

The bronze plaque was about the size of his palm, and it gave off a cold and icy feeling.

“You have obtained an Unknown Deity Abode token!”

“With the guide of this token you will be able to find out where this Unknown Deity Abode is.”

“Note: Any Unknown Deity Abode will have unknown dangers and opportunities lurking. If you wish to go ahead and explore it, you must be extremely careful!”

Unknown Deity Abode?

Qin Shujian’s expression froze for a moment.

He looked down at the bronze token in his hand and was somewhat surprised.

If this item weren’t in the same shape as a token and looked similar to his Chieftain Token of the Liangshan Stronghold, he might have just completely overlooked it.

After he found out that he could increase the level of Liangshan Stronghold by absorbing the tokens of other powers, he had become especially sensitive to items that were in this particular shape.

But this wasn’t what Qin Shujian expected.

Liangshan Stronghold couldn’t absorb this bronze token, and it turned out to be an Unknown Deity Abode token.

...

Judging from everything he knew in his previous life, this should be the key to some of the Deity Abodes that were left behind by some powerful fighters.

When he focused his consciousness on the bronze token, Qin Shujian noticed that coordinates had vaguely appeared in his mind, telling him exactly where this particular Unknown Deity Abode was.

But after just taking a quick look, he quickly shut off this connection with the token.

The most important thing to do now was to settle the matter at Messy Gold Mountain.

As for exploring the Deity Abode, he could set it aside for the time being.

Also, according to the system prompt, this Unknown Deity Abode wasn’t some nice and friendly place. So it was better for him to be fully prepared before going to check it out.

After noticing that Qin Shujian was just rooted to the spot, Niu Feng couldn’t help but ask, “Chieftain, is there something wrong with this particular item?”

“No, nothing.” Qin Shujian shook his head slightly and kept the bronze token away.

“Let’s set off!”

After that, Niu Feng and Xu Yuanming rounded up the remaining Mountain Bandits, and they all continued on their journey towards Messy Gold Mountain.

At the same time, since Qin Shujian had some free time, he took a look at his own attributes.

...

Name: Qin Shujian

Identity: Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain

Affiliation: Liangshan Stronghold

Stage: Martial Entry-Level Ten (Within the Liangshan Stronghold Affiliation, Stage +2)

Affiliation level: Level

Techniques: Bodyforge Manual Level Ten (One United Body) (Mortal Tier High Grade), Black Tiger Blade Technique (One with the Heavens) (Mortal Tier Mid Grade), Eternal Youth Technique Level Seven (Unending Vitality, Prolonged Lifespan Level Two) (Mortal Tier Mid Grade), Seven-Flower Leaf Penetrating Palm (+) (Enlightened) (Mortal Tier Low Grade), Five Elements Eight Trigram Move (+) (Pinnacle) (Mortal Tier Low Grade)

Life Value: 3

His Bodyforge Manual had reached Level Ten.

The additional unique attributes that used to follow these words had disappeared, and they were replaced with a brand new attribute: One United Body.

About this attribute, Qin Shujian understood what this particular attribute meant.

Before reaching Martial Entry-Level Ten, it was a matter of unleashing all his physical body’s potential.

So once he had reached Martial Entry-Level Ten, it meant that his physical body had reached a level where it was impossible for it to improve any further.

Under such circumstances, it meant that the physical body had become completely compatible.

His flesh and blood, bones, bone marrow, and all the internal organs that were sustained by qi and blood were now all closely connected.

In that way, the physical body had become flawless.

“Martial Entry-Level Ten, One United Body. This should be the limit that most people can reach. If you want to progress by another level, then you would go into a superhuman stage.”

Qin Shujian could feel the energy that never seemed to run out inside his body and started to do some estimates on himself.

At Martial Entry-Level Nine, his body still had some defects.

At Martial Entry-Level Ten, his body was flawless.

The words ‘One United Body’ looked simple, but it had included everything inside it.

This was the true Martial Entry-Level Ten.

It was completely different from the false Martial Entry-Level Ten.
