Chapter 330
After that red-dressed woman knocked Xu Ming unconscious, Shi Xin told him everything that happened in the illusion without exaggerating a single word, ensuring that Xu Ming could form his most accurate judgment.
Hearing Shi Xin’s account, Xu Ming fell into deep thought, realizing that this world was indeed far more complex than he had imagined. However, for now, he had yet to come into contact with that level of reality, so it wasn’t something that concerned him—at least, not for the moment. Of course, this was only temporary. As his cultivation realm rose higher and his understanding of the world deepened, the things he was meant to encounter would inevitably come his way.
Xu Ming slowly stood up, looking at the three treasure chests in front of him and the long sword embedded in the stone mountain. Walking forward, he opened the three treasure chests one by one.
Inside the first chest were over a thousand silver-white iron pellets. Xu Ming picked one up, examined it closely, and realized it resembled a soldier pellet. These so-called soldier pellets were a type of warrior jointly created by practitioners of the Mohist and Yin-Yang schools. Powered by spiritual energy, they were tireless, devoid of independent thought, and obeyed commands unconditionally.
Such soldier pellets were often expensive. Even the cheapest one would cost an upper-grade spirit stone. Xu Ming casually dropped the pellet to the ground. Sure enough, the pellet exploded, and a silver-armored warrior materialized before him.
The armored warrior held a spear in hand, looking almost identical to the warriors Xu Ming had seen in the “illusion” earlier.
“Come here,” Xu Ming ordered. The armored warrior obeyed, walking toward him.
Xu Ming picked up a random sword from the corpses nearby, weighed it in his hand, and said to the armored warrior, “Grip your spear tightly and use all your strength to stab at me.”
The armored warrior followed the command, thrusting its spear at Xu Ming with full force. Xu Ming blocked it with his sword, the blade clashing against the spearhead, dispersing the spiritual energy in a shockwave.
