Outside the Eternal Forest.

  Ye Bai draped a black cloak over his shoulders, clutching the King Sword in his arms.

  Happiness came so suddenly that Ye Bai didn't know how to express his feelings.

  [King Sword, once the obsession is completed, it can be restored to a stronger grade.]

  Once the sword of the Great War God, the grade and power of the King Sword are beyond doubt.

  However,

  If it were the complete version of the King Sword, Ye Bai's current strength wouldn't be able to wield it!

  When Nightmare designed the Eternal Forest, he naturally considered this point.

  All equipment comes with a seal upon creation, automatically matching the user's level and growing with them!

  The information about the King Sword was fully displayed before Ye Bai's eyes.

  [

  Equipment: King Sword (LV.54)

  Grade: SS Rank

  Attributes: Strength +540, Constitution +300

  Physical Attack: 1260

  Traits:

  [Armor Break]: The first physical damage to an enemy ignores physical defense, and the same target will only suffer armor break damage once every 12 hours.

  [Everlasting]: Durability always remains at 100%, never taking damage.

  [Majestic Aura]: After equipping this sword, it affects enemies within a 300-meter radius, reducing all their attributes by 5%. The user's attributes increase by 1%-15%, with more enemies increasing the effect, reaching a maximum of 15% when affecting 150 enemies.

  [Obsession]: Use this sword to kill a Battle King-level monster.

  Obsession to complete: 9

  Obsession completed: 0]

  "No wonder it's the equipment of the Great War God, even sealed, it's still so powerful!"

  Ye Bai couldn't help but marvel.

  He was someone who had seen the world, and the Nature's Force in his hand wasn't bad either.

  But compared to the King Sword, the gap was quite significant!

  In terms of basic attributes, the King Sword increased strength by 540 and constitution by 300, pushing Ye Bai's strength and constitution attributes over a thousand.

  At the same time,

  The traits of the King Sword were also incredibly powerful!

  Everlasting, directly saving Ye Bai the trouble of repairing weapons.

  [Armor Break] as the first physical attack, ignoring physical defense, can deal tons of explosive damage!

  Ye Bai, being a mage, pulling out a sword from his pocket was already quite absurd.

  But then, swinging the sword, ignoring physical defense, dealing astronomical damage, a one-hit kill!

  From his brief career as a mage, Ye Bai learned one thing: a mage's abilities have limits, and one must become something beyond a mage...

  I'm done being a mage, Shadow Nine!

  Ahem.

  As for [Majestic Aura], this trait is very suitable for group battles, increasing one's attributes while decreasing the enemies' attributes when surrounded.

  The author's content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

  According to the "Eternal Tower Theory of Relativity," others losing attributes equals Ye Bai gaining attributes.

  It's like Ye Bai wins twice, a double win!

  Ye Bai put the King Sword back into his backpack.

  As a divine weapon of the Great War God, its recognition must be very high.

  Once it appears, it will immediately attract attention from all sides.

  Considering Ye Bai's current situation, in normal battles, there's no need to use the King Sword.

  The King Sword serves as Ye Bai's trump card, best used to surprise a boss with an unexpected stab.

  After storing the King Sword, Ye Bai's gaze fell on his shoulder.

  [Nightmare's Cloak · Battle-Damaged Version]

  [Due to severe damage, it was discarded on the Monument of Death Wills.]

  [Nightmare never expected anyone would take it from the Eternal Forest, right, smart guy?]

  Seeing this note, Ye Bai's expression changed slightly.

  He had a bad premonition.

  [Equipment: Nightmare's Wind (LV.1)

  Grade: SSS Rank

  Durability: 0.001%

  Attributes: Agility +1

  Physical/Magic Defense: 1

  Trait: [I'm Broken]: Please repair me, I really miss my pristine condition.]

  Ye Bai: ......

  "Master Jiu, do you want to recycle the cloak, the Supreme Being exclusive kind, just exchange it for the Great War God's equipment, I'll take a loss!"

  "I don't take trash here."

  From the shadows, there were even a few chuckles.

  Laughing loudly, unrestrained.

  Apparently, Shadow Nine also knew about the condition of the cloak on Ye Bai's shoulder.

  "How do you fix this thing?"

  Ye Bai muttered.

  The Eye of Insight and Shadow Nine gave the same answer.

  [Feed it SSS Rank materials for the cloak to devour, which can restore its durability.]

  SSS Rank materials, each one is worth a fortune!

  Ye Bai did have one, the Hellhound's Skull.

  "Master Jiu, is it safe nearby?"

  "Not safe, whatever you want to do, save it for inside the Eternal Tower."

  Shadow Nine roughly guessed Ye Bai's intention and asked,

  "When you cleared the SSS Rank beginner dungeon, you should have obtained a part of the Hellhound's skeleton, right?"

  "Yes, the skull."

  Shadow Nine, being one of his own, Ye Bai was quite honest, trying to lie to him as little as possible.

  "The skull... I see."

  Shadow Nine fell silent, no longer speaking.

  Today in the Eternal Forest, the situation was special, and Shadow Nine spoke more than usual.

  Normally, he was mostly silent, following Ye Bai around.

  Returning to silence now, Ye Bai wasn't surprised, continuing to follow the orb's instructions, heading to the target location to complete this exercise.

  ...

  In the Eternal Forest, four shadows guarded the forest.

  Shadow Seven welcomed an unexpected guest—Shadow Four.

  "Master Jiu has a task for you."

  Shadow Four's face was indifferent.

  In just one day, they met three times, more than in the entire past year!

  Shadow Seven raised an eyebrow slightly, asking,

  "What task?"

  "Master Jiu wants you to go to the Abyssal Plane and find a Hellhound Emperor. Bring back all the bones except the skull."

  "An adult Hellhound Emperor is a War God-level existence.

  With all three heads, it's equivalent to three War Gods, and if they agree, even more troublesome than three War Gods!"

  Shadow Seven's voice trembled slightly.

  This task, if given to other War Gods, would probably make them curse directly.

  Isn't this clearly sending someone to their death!

  "If you're scared, I can take over."

  "Scared?!"

  Shadow Seven's voice was sharp to the point of breaking, the whole person extremely excited,

  "Being stuck here for three years, I'm about to go crazy!

  If I had known that becoming Shadow Seven meant guarding the Eternal Forest, I would have stayed as Shadow Ten, continuing to take care of kids!"

  At this point, Shadow Seven was almost hysterical, clearly holding a great grudge.

  "At least, there's someone for me to kill."

  Shadow Seven took a few deep breaths, calming down his excitement, regaining composure.

  "What about my guarding task?"

  Under normal circumstances, one cannot leave without permission.

  Even with Shadow Nine's verbal order, Shadow Seven must ensure someone takes over.

  "Third Brother is coming back from the battlefield soon, he'll be here to heal and help you guard the Eternal Forest."

  Shadow Four warned, "You only have three days."

  "Understood, when do I leave?"

  "Now."

  Before Shadow Four finished speaking, purple smoke rushed out, carrying overwhelming killing intent, like a Glutton hungry for a hundred years, filled with a thirst for slaughter.

  "Abyssal Plane, Shadow Seven is back!"

  Shadow Four watched Shadow Seven's back, sighing helplessly,

  "This kid, almost thirty, still so full of adolescent delusions."

  "Maybe I should advise his parents to have another child."

  "This one's a lost cause."

  ...

  At the foot of the Eternal Tower, there was a sizable town.

  Following the orb's instructions, Ye Bai found the gathering point, a large square.

  In the center of the square stood a hundred-meter-high stone monument, somewhat familiar.

  "Big Bai, over here!"

  Before Ye Bai got close to the square, he heard Zhao Lin calling him.

  Liu Xueqi and Zuo Lingxie were also there, only Ye Bai was missing.

  Before Ye Bai got close, Zhao Lin hurriedly reminded him,

  "Don't mention your gains in the Eternal Forest, it's a secret!"

  Ye Bai: ???

  I wasn't planning to mention it!

  Even if I did, who would believe I got a King Sword and a battle-damaged cloak!

  "Would anyone voluntarily say it?"

  As soon as Ye Bai finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Lin.

  Alright, the intelligence gap has appeared.

  Despite Zhao Lin lowering the average intelligence of the [CCF] group, he raised the average age of the [CCF] group!

  Well done, that's Zhao Lin for you.

  Liu Xueqi added, "Now everyone knows Zhao Lin got two knives in the Eternal Forest."

  "You're something else."

  Ye Bai shook his head with a smile, "But, it's okay."

  "The summer camp special training is elimination-based, to ensure we aren't eliminated, we must go all out in various tests.

  In other words, our trump cards can't really be hidden, whether others know or not makes no difference."

  Hearing Ye Bai's words, Liu Xueqi blinked and smiled without saying a word.

  Trump cards? She might be able to hide a little.

  What Liu Xueqi didn't know was,

  She indeed could hide a little trump card.

  Ye Bai, however, could hide a billion little trump cards!

  After being comforted by Ye Bai, Zhao Lin, who was originally depressed, became even more depressed at the thought of being eliminated soon.

  In terms of inducing depression, Ye Bai had mastered it.

  After chatting for a while, the countdown on the orb ended.

  "Time's up!"

  Zuo Lingxie looked towards the end of the square, standing straight, with an extremely serious expression.

  "What time is it?"

  "Shh!"

  Liu Xueqi made a quiet gesture, whispering,

  "A legion is returning from the Abyssal Plane!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, a huge portal suddenly opened at the end of the square.

  A shadow was the first to rush out of the portal.

  "Safe!"

  The shadow dropped this word and flew towards the east of the Eternal Forest, extremely fast, without any pause.

  Boom boom boom—

  The ground began to shake.

  From the portal, rows of warriors marched out, stepping into the square with orderly steps.

  Boom—

  Boom—

  Each step they took felt like it was stomping on a heart, making one's heart tighten!

  Everyone's faces were calm as still water, their aura majestic, exuding a strong scent of blood, with killing intent soaring!

  Their movements were uniform, orders executed without hesitation!

  Many boys were staring wide-eyed, Zhao Lin even more so, eyes glued, utterly shocked by the unprecedented scene!

  Ye Bai looked ahead, watching rows of warriors pass by him.

  His eyes also shone with a glimmer,

  "Magnificent, a hundred-battle army!"
