Chaotic Heaven Saber Art, Xu Lang the Melee Mage, Heading to the Titan Building
Not long after, Xu Lang received a message from Blue Sea Tideborn.
While Blue Sea Tideborn was busy with his work, Xu Lang was not idle. He temporarily suppressed the group of Star Constellation Warriors. After Qin Chuan and the other main stars arrived, these Star Constellation Warriors were blessed with good fortune, and their strength increased rapidly.
If they were allowed to charge with all their might, there might actually be a sliver of a chance they could break through the Magic Box World.
Of course, that was assuming Xu Lang didn't get involved.
If he intervened, he would directly cause the Mirror World to turn upside down, placing this group of people into the Avici Purgatory.
Well... but even with the current state of the major Purgatory, it's not certain they can suppress them, unless all the Purgatory realms attack together.
Xu Lang has the feel of a villain raising the son of his enemy; he kills someone's entire family, adopts their son as his godson, and then gets killed in return.
As a modern person, he had seen this kind of plot far too many times.
Seizing the Purple Tenuity Star Fate Pattern is of utmost urgency.
"I hope this isn't a trap set by the Dormitory Survival Game to trick me... You can't keep the building under control without me."
Xu Lang muttered to himself, then took out a dashboard. After using it, the information transmitted by the Blue Sea Tideborn appeared on it.
In order to achieve zero pollution and avoid being detected as abnormal, Blue Sea Tideborn is not even Strange Tale supernatural tales, so he can only use this relatively "primitive" method to communicate.
"Ziwei Star... Star Dormitory... Thunder Dormitory..."
Xu Lang read the message, his lips curving into a wider smile.
Tonight, it seems we can Simulation a wave.
The Demon Army was wiped out by Titan Building's trump card and is still intimidated, delaying their second attack...
In other words, this is a rare chance for the players to catch their breath, but some people are using this opportunity to start internal strife, which is incredibly pointless.
Xu Lang is that kind of idle person, and he's incredibly idle!
In fact, before he made the invitation to Titan Building, the Titan Building's higher-ups had basically given up on assassinating Xu Lang and opposing Mad King Building.
There's no way around it; the higher-ups at Titan Building all agree on one thing.
That means this round of the game is too difficult!
It's so difficult! So difficult! So difficult!
The game is currently in the mid-to-late stages, and Titan Building has already revealed all its trump cards!
Xu Lang's invitation to turn hostility into friendship seemed like an excellent opportunity for a massive attack, but in reality, the Twelve Titans were also hesitant, with differing opinions and their camps divided into two factions.
The assassination faction argued that this was a golden opportunity. Killing Xu Lang would allow them to take over the Mad King Building, and that way no one could interfere with the battlefield or forcibly draw Blood Hatred from them. As for the Earth passage... that was important, but not as important as this round of the game. They were top players, and as long as they kept winning, they would eventually have a chance to find a way back to Earth.
The peace faction argued that it was not advisable to fight amongst themselves now. Since Xu Lang genuinely wanted an alliance, there was no need to continue the conflict; getting through this round of the game was more important than anything else.
Xu Lang's invitation this time was truly sincere.
The reason is simple: he entrusted the time and location to Titan Building for finalization.
His main purpose was to gather information, so he just needed to see people.
This peace talks will not only involve players, but Xu Lang also emphasized that NPCs should participate as well, making it seem like a military parade in comparison to the peace talks.
Of course, Xu Lang would never actually hold a military parade. This is just a game, and doing something like that would be suicidal and humiliating.
A single Titan Legion can match the strength of Mad King Building Player; this isn't a real difference, and there's nothing to hide.
This gap made Xu Lang very greedy. The Demon Army was a piece of meat, the NPCs were a piece of meat, and the Titan Building was a piece of meat... but some of them had thorns, and some were tough bones. How to gnaw on them was an art.
Most Titan Building Player had already given up on fighting, but Xu Lang's side hadn't, and hadn't at all.

Last night, Xu Lang mastered the Chaotic Heaven Blade Ultimate to perfection. The combination of the Mysterious Lord Great Dao Chapter and the Nightmare Bed is truly too authoritative. Giving it to any player would be a top-tier development combination, capable of maximizing individual strength.
Moreover, Xu Lang can learn skills without limit, which is even more incredible.
Just as one can learn from others' experiences, Xu Lang will eventually be able to counterattack the Knowledge Projection of the LV49 Martial God and Martial Saint skills and achieve ultimate mastery.
Furthermore, Xu Lang will have a whole bunch of ultimate-level skills by then; he can just tap wherever the skill lights up.
After the battle at Lou Zhan, Xu Lang's individual strength grew too fast. In fact, he didn't use Nightmare Coins to forcibly improve it much; it was all due to the good foundation he laid in the early stages.
Xu Lang checked the system log and, unsurprisingly, another Golden Skill Point had been added to his account.
He found this resource, which even top-tier players considered a precious treasure, somewhat useless.
It's so-so, not as appealing as currency.
[Congratulations on upgrading "Chaotic Heaven Blade Ultimate (Mythic)" to level 50, gaining 1 Golden Skill Point, and unlocking hidden information.]
[Chaotic Heaven Blade Ultimate (Ultimate Skill - Tier 1): Increases affinity with all elements by 5%. When attacking, it draws upon the power of the elements of heaven and earth, including but not limited to water, fire, wind, thunder, and ice. The strength of the effect depends on the user's elemental affinity. When the sword technique draws upon the power of the seven elements of cloud, rain, fire, ice, wind, mountain, and sea, it gains a special boost.]
[The increases are as follows]
[Cloud: Movement as swift as clouds, attack range increased by 25%, movement speed increased by 15%, hit rate increased by 10%]
[Rain: The blade's momentum transforms into rain, restoring 1% of the user's maximum health per second and inflicting "wetness" on the target, reducing their movement speed by 1-30%, with effects stacking.]
[Fire: Blade ignites, inflicting additional fire elemental damage and causing burn and explosion effects, dealing massive damage per second]
[Ice: Blade energy freezes into ice, inflicting frostbite on the target. The effect is stackable. At its maximum, it freezes for 0.1 to 3 seconds, and the effect is also stackable.]
[Wind: The blade borrows the wind's momentum, increasing attack speed by 15% and granting a short-range dash when striking.]
[Mountain: Blade strikes with overwhelming force, granting an additional shield and invulnerability effect]
[Sea: All streams flow into the sea, transforming all elements into seawater; the size of the range depends on the affinity between the elements.]
[The Chaotic Heaven Blade Ultimate comes with the "Chaotic Heaven Blade Forms." Combining two blade styles increases the effect by 10%, combining three blade styles by 30%, combining four blade styles by 50%, combining five blade styles by 100%, combining six blade styles by 200%, and combining seven blade styles by 500%, and also triggers the "Heaven and Earth Annihilation (Legendary)" effect.]
[The fixed mixed combinations are as follows: rain in the clouds, fire in the wind, ice in the sea, mountain in the sea... ice and rain... ice and rain sea...]
[The effects of the combination will vary depending on the combined sword techniques; with practice, they can be freely combined.]
Now, with Xu Lang, it wouldn't be a problem to blast an ancient city apart. Although his fighting style has always been close-range single-target attacks, he now inexplicably feels more like a melee mage.
Today, Xu Lang is going to practice this skill properly. Although he has absorbed all the knowledge about it, actual combat is different.
For example, with so many special attributes he now possesses, it's necessary to test which ones will have the best synergy with the Chaotic Heaven Blade Ultimate, and which ones are completely negative effects.
"Wow, what's wrong with Lang Ge today?"
Cao Yaxuan and the others got up early in the morning and were all incredulous to hear that Xu Lang had gone to the cultivation room.
"They're probably meeting with the higher-ups at Titan Building, just tinkering with some new skills or something," Tong Qi guessed, then added, "I need to go train too; I can't let Mad King Building down."
This was a formal invitation from Xu Lang, so it was necessary for Tong Qi and the others to all participate.
The peace talks took place at noon today in a meeting place within the Titan Building Safe Zone.
At first, the Holy Angel and their diplomatic staff were quite surprised when they heard that Xu Lang had actually agreed.
"To actually agree to talk within our Safe Zone, Xu Lang is ultimately a man of principle."
"They were probably intimidated by the scale of this round of the game."
"Building Lord Xu, you've shown great sincerity."
"..."
Xu Lang's decisive action also surprised the Titans.
Why not avoid it?
Because I'm not afraid!
Are they really going to assassinate Xu Lang?
Isn't the risk too great?
Several Titans were eager to try and were well-prepared, having prepared a whole host of skills for finishing off enemies, preventing resurrection, controlling the field, and exiling.
However, when it came to actually facing Xu Lang, they hesitated.
"Has anyone seen Xu Lang these past few days? Nobody has. Who knows if he's managed to get his hands on some life-saving treasures again? Otherwise, why would he suddenly send out an invitation!"
"Yes! That's most likely the case. My think tank has done a psychological profile of him. Although Xu Lang is crazy, eccentric, and lecherous, he's actually very cautious!"
"So what do we do now? Should we continue?"
"Let's play it by ear. Once Xu Lang shows up, we'll thoroughly investigate him, uncover all his secrets, and then proceed with our next move!"
Xu Lang is here!
"Why can't I detect any information? Why is it all black?"
"..."
In the Magic Forest, the Frostfield Titan, the Forest Titan, the Steel Titan, the Beast Titan, and the Demon Titan stared at the scene reflected in the spring, all utterly bewildered.
Their reconnaissance skills are extremely powerful; they can see a lot even through the spring water.
"How about I go check it out on site?" Frostfield Titan suggested.
"Okay." The Forest Titan nodded.
At this moment, Xu Lang had already led his people into the venue, namely Kui Zi, Cao Yaxuan, Tong Qi, Wang Yazhi, and ten Floor Leader, followed by more than a hundred key members of the Residents' Committee.
The tiny figures walked into the hall, appearing inconspicuous, yet they were the ones being stared at by the giants the entire time.
The venue is an open-air stadium hundreds of meters high, with a semi-transparent alloy dome. Sunlight shines through the dome, casting a cold white patch of light on the ground.
The stadium has tiered stands on all four sides, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of giants.
Titan Building calls this place the "Negotiation Hall," but its exterior resembles a Arena, and its purpose is also for Duel, though not as effective as the Ironblood Arena.
When Xu Lang led his people into the stadium, the stands were already full.
None of the players in Titan Building were shorter than ten meters.
Their clothing style is generally associated with violence and war. The equipment they wear is usually leather armor and heavy armor. Their clothing is also quite distinctive, with gray-blue fabric stretched across their broad shoulders and backs. The cuffs and collars are inlaid with dark silver patterns reminiscent of the Steel Legion. The fabric is as thick as a sail and the stitching is as coarse as a cable.
Sitting in the stands, his knees were higher than the back of the seat in front of him, his hands resting on his lap, his knuckles as thick as small gears.
Someone was unconsciously tapping their knees with their fingers, each tap producing a dull thud. The scattered tapping echoed throughout the venue, like a huge drum being carelessly struck.
Judging from their clothing, these people are all from the Earth Titan. This was probably intentional, intended to put pressure on Xu Lang and his group.
"To talk in front of so many people?"
Pandora's expression changed slightly; she seemed to regret following along.
Being stared at by more than ten thousand giants was terrifying; it felt as if I would be torn apart by their gaze at any moment, leaving no trace of my body!
Moreover, this is someone else's territory.
Ultimately, the only place that can provide players with a sense of security during gaming time is their dormitory.
If she were inside her own dorm room, with turrets and a gate, Pandora would have just blasted her to smithereens. But now that she's outside...
Um!
I hope you don't go crazy!
Or rather, Xu Lang, don't go crazy!
[Pandora: Daddy, we really came here for the feast, right? You saw it, they're very fierce!]
Pandora sent him a private message, Xu Lang ignored it.
The reception staff from the Titan Building Ministry of Foreign Affairs led the way, with Xu Lang walking at the very front, his expression calm and expressionless.
Kui Zi, Cao Yaxuan, Tong Qi, and Wang Yazhi followed on either side.
When Titan Building and the others walked in through the main passage, the light overhead was mostly blocked by the huge figures on the stands.
Those ten-meter-tall giants sat in the stands. Looking up from the perspective of Mad King Building and the others, each person's feet were dangling in mid-air above the front edge of the seat, with the soles of their boots more than half a meter off the ground. The anti-slip patterns on the soles of their boots were clearly imprinted in their line of sight, like rows of iron plates hanging overhead.
Looking further up, there are knees dangling over the seats, fingers resting on the railing, and pairs of eyes looking down.
Those eyes held curiosity, wildness, scrutiny, nonchalance, hidden sharpness, and predatory intent, but none of them looked straight ahead.
This stark contrast in perspective undoubtedly conveys a certain meaning.
"The local gangs are so rude."
Xu Lang shook his head inwardly, not caring at all. The more people, the better; otherwise, wouldn't all his succubus physique points be wasted?
