Chapter 249

"Yes."

Shen Xing nodded, then added, "This is Overlord Rank Soul, which can increase the success rate of corresponding troop types by an additional 10%, and also has a certain probability of awakening a talent."

Upon hearing the subsequent description, Ding Han's shock deepened. "This... this precious soul, are you sure you want to sell it?"

"Mr. Shen Xing, I would like to politely remind you that Overlord Rank Soul are extremely rare resources, even among Master Rank experts."

"Won't selling such a valuable resource affect your development...?"

Shen Xing smiled, knowing this was a well-intentioned reminder: "I know, but the Overlord Rank is still quite far away for me right now."

"Using other resources to improve other aspects of strength and develop the territory will achieve the same result."

"Alright, since Mr. Shen Xing has made his decision, I won't say anything more."

Ding Han nodded, then added, "Please wait a moment, I need to consult with my superiors."

"Overlord Rank Soul are already strategic resources and will not circulate on public platforms. They are prioritized for provision to Master and Expert Rank powerhouses."

Shen Xing was slightly taken aback; she hadn't expected such a saying.

"Okay, then you can report it. We'll wait a bit longer."

Ding Han nodded, then quickly took out his phone and reported the relevant information.

At this moment, in the rooftop conference room of the Jiangcheng Player Association.

Several figures were sitting around the conference table, intently watching the satellite image on the screen.

As can be seen from the satellite imagery, in addition to the landmasses of major countries, thick fog is rising from the sea.

The fog is swirling over the sea and spreading slowly in all directions, seemingly preparing to advance inland.

At that moment, a specially made black communicator on the table began to vibrate.

A mature-looking woman with light makeup picked up the communicator, glanced at it, and her expression changed slightly.

"Chief, news has come in that Shen Xing has arrived at the Player Association, saying he wants to sell an Overlord Rank Soul."

Jiang Rong's voice trembled slightly. "And... it seems to be an earth-elemental soul."

The atmosphere in the conference room paused for a moment as everyone exchanged glances.

Elder Wang hair was half-gray, thought for a moment and said, "I remember... the director has a Tier Three Expert Rank Earthshaking War General, right?"

"And they've already raised their potential to Boss Three-Star, but they still can't reach the Overlord?"

The burly man in the main seat raised his head. "There is one, and this soul is quite suitable for me."

"However, what surprised me was not that he was offering Overlord Rank Soul for trade, but something else..."

He turned to the old man and asked, "Elder Wang, have you ever killed an Overlord Rank creature on your own?"

"This..." Elder Wang pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "No, even the lowest -Overlord Rank creatures are at the peak of the Tier Three. How could I possibly be a match for them?"

"Yes, but he did it." A hint of emotion appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes. "It's hard to imagine that he's just a novice lord who's been in the Land of Mist for less than two months."

Elder Wang tentatively asked, "Perhaps... because of the ring I gave him?"

"Probably." Zhang Yu shook his head, then stood up. "Today's meeting is adjourned."

"Elder Wang, Jiang Rong, come with me to meet this top genius of Jiangcheng, the number one on both the Heavenly Star Nation's rankings."

In the conference room, both of them stood up.

Chapter 170: Zhang Yu's Investment, the Goddess of Evolution Temple!

Third floor trading area, VIP room.

The four sat on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting casually.

But it was mostly Ding Han doing the talking, with Shen Xing and the others giving a few awkward replies.

Just then, the cell phone on the coffee table vibrated.

Ding Han quickly glanced at the message, his eyes lighting up. "Mr. Shen Xing, we've received a message that Director Zhang wants to see you in person."

"Director Zhang... you mean Director Zhang Yu from Jiangcheng?"

"Yes!" Ding Han nodded excitedly, his eyes shining with admiration.

Upon receiving confirmation, Shen Xing's face showed surprise.

Goodness, this is a very important figure; almost everyone in the Jiangcheng gaming community knows him.

As Master Rank expert, his combat strength is recognized as formidable throughout the country.

After all, he is one of the few who has ever Execute Master Rank lord from another country.

Not only Shen Xing, but Xu Jiayi and Qin Lang beside her also looked surprised.

It seems unexpected that an Overlord Rank Soul could attract such a powerful figure to personally intervene.

Before they could react, a "beep" sounded from outside the VIP room.

The main gate slowly opened to both sides, and three distinguished figures walked in.

Jiang Rong, dressed in a professional suit and with a slender figure, stood on the left and right sides respectively, while Elder Wang, dressed in a Zhongshan suit and leaning on a cane.

In the center stood a burly man.

He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, his tight-fitting suit accentuating his explosive muscles, making him look like a silent iron tower.

Just standing there, the air in the entire VIP room seemed to freeze, carrying an invisible pressure.

The so-called Master Rank expert is not Master who has Tier Four troops under his command; rather, he must possess at least Tier Four combat power himself.

According to some guides on the forum, breaking through to this realm is not as simple as fusing the Lord's Heart; it also requires fulfilling some other conditions.

Every Master Rank lord has tempered their physical body or spirit to the limit, and their combat power is at least comparable to that of a Boss Rank unit of the same rank.

Some powerful lords can even fight against Leader Rank of the same rank.

"Shen Xing, we meet again." Elder Wang stepped forward with a smile and said, "As you probably know, this is our bureau chief. He wanted to come and see you."

Xu Jiayi and Qin Lang, who were standing nearby, had already stood up and were looking at the man in front of them with solemn expressions.

Shen Xing also wanted to get up.

But as soon as he placed his hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, the burly man spoke.

"No need for such formalities. I'm just here to see the talented lords of Jiangcheng. Please make yourselves at home."

A smile appeared on his resolute face, and his voice was deep. "You should have heard of me. My name is Zhang Yu."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

Zhang Yu's gaze swept over the three of them, and an appreciative smile appeared on his face.

"I've always heard Zhou Zheng say that the three of you are exceptional talents, and now it seems that he truly lives up to that reputation."

He fixed his gaze on the figure in the wheelchair and went straight to the point. "Shen Xing, I heard you're planning to sell an Overlord Rank Soul this time?"

"Yes." Shen Xing took out the pale golden soul fragment.

Zhang Yu examined the soul closely, his admiration deepening. "Truly impressive, only at the Tier Two of strength, yet you've obtained Overlord Rank Soul."

"Although I don't know how you did it, it shows your extraordinary potential. You truly deserve to be the number one on both lists in our Heavenly Star Nation."

He paused, then continued, "I'll take this Overlord Rank Soul. Of course, I'll also give you a reward of equal value."

"You can make your request first, and I'll see if I can fulfill it."

"Uh..." Shen Xing hesitated.

Admittedly, Zhang Yu's conditions were very sincere, allowing Shen Xing to make his own requests, which he would then fulfill.

The problem is, Shen Xing doesn't know what he wants either.

There isn't a clear price for treasures of this caliber on the market yet.

Because every time it appears, it's snatched up by those top experts.

Zhang Yu seemed to sense his hesitation and said with a smile, "How about this, I have two things here, one of which I recently obtained from an ancient ruin overseas."

"It might not be of much use to us Master Rank, but it should be a great help to you."

"See if you'd be willing to trade."

Shen Xing's eyes flickered slightly, and she subconsciously asked, "What is it?"

Zhang Yu flipped his hands, and two items appeared out of thin air in his palms.

To the left is a swirling ball of light, within which the outline of a temple-like structure can be faintly seen, emitting a pale golden glow.

On the right is a meticulously bound book, wrapped in a black cover, obscuring its contents.

"What is this?" Shen Xing asked.

"The first item is the 'Mysterious Building - Goddess of Evolution Temple,' which only requires sacrificing certain attributes to obtain 1 to 10 evolution slots per day."

"The so-called evolution slots allow units that have reached level 9 (the maximum level) to directly advance to the Tier Two without consuming breakthrough materials."

After hearing Zhang Yu's introduction, the three people on the field gasped simultaneously, realizing the power and value of this thing.

This is equivalent to a building that can reliably produce advanced materials, and it's usable by all professions, with a full 10 slots available every day!

If this continues, it could even allow all troop types in the territory to break through to the Tier Two, creating a Transcendent Rank army.

Its value is beyond imagination.

Before they could recover from their shock, Zhang Yu continued to explain:

"The Goddess of Evolution Temple requires sacrificing attributes to obtain a spot, but it doesn't stipulate that only lords can make sacrifices; a batch of cannon fodder troops can be summoned to bear the cost."

"As for the second item... it's not a game item, but a cultivation manual related to mental power."

"A manual for cultivating mental strength?" Shen Xing asked subconsciously.

"Yes, you can think of it like a skill book in a game."

Zhang Yu said, "By following the method above and practicing meditation and refining your skills daily, you can quickly get started and master the skill of 'Mental Energy Control'."

"I sense a powerful spiritual force emanating from you, and you can already project it naturally. You must have mastered this skill."

But understanding is only the beginning.

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened slightly, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity. "The cultivation of spiritual power is profound and involves the deepest mysteries of the human body. Even after you've grasped the basics, you still have a long way to go."

"Over the past few decades, our Heavenly Star Nation and the major powers of Blue Star have been developing and exploring the various powers contained within the human body, exchanging insights and experiences with each other."

"Among them, we have compiled the knowledge related to mental power and divided it into six realms."

"These are: Introduction, Control, Manifestation, Empowerment, Resonance, and Domain."
