Chapter 230 The Path of the Strong, the Pursuit of SSS-Level Talented Individuals
Chen Shan stood at the very front of the group, like a solid rock.
The massive tower shield in his hand was covered in flowing runes, emitting a thick, earthy-yellow aura as the [Undying Barrier] talent was fully activated.
Facing the Thunder Giant Ape's earth-shattering attack, he neither dodged nor evaded, but instead rooted himself to the ground and thrust his shield forward with tremendous force!
"clang--!!!!"
The deafening roar was comparable to a real collision of thunderbolts! The shockwave spread out in a ring, kicking up all the rubble and dust from the ground.
-35,821! (Damage blocked)
A huge damage number rose from Chen Shan's head, and his health bar dropped sharply, but his figure only swayed slightly and he did not move an inch!
The healing light from the priests behind him fell like a rain of light, quickly bringing his health back to a safe level.
"Output!! Don't give this beast a chance to breathe! Hit its energy core under its armpit!" Chen Shan's voice boomed, and although his hands were numb, his fighting spirit grew even stronger.
Warriors roared as they charged out from behind the shield wall, and the spells of mages and archers exploded on the giant ape like fireworks.
Chen Shan's presence is the team's strongest support.
He may not have Ye Yao's unpredictable assassination efficiency, nor Lin Tian's devastating area-clearing ability, but his "toughness" is enough to give the team the confidence and resources to fight head-on against any powerful being.
"Old Chen, it's said that Thunder Roar Peak is hiding a Lord-level [Storm Elemental Lord], a level 50 behemoth! If we can take it down..." Situ Zhen said in the channel while guiding [Chain Lightning], his tone filled with excitement and solemnity.
Chen Shan grinned, revealing teeth gleaming in the electric light: "What lord? As long as it dares to show its face, I'll smash it to death with this shield! Guild creation order, our Stone Gorge City, we'll fight for it ourselves!"
Mayan City, Lake of Light - The Corrupted Sanctuary (Level 40 Raid).
Unlike the oppressive fury of the Dark Swamp and Hurricane Mountains, the battles here are filled with an epic sense of the clash between the sacred and the corrupt.
"Holy Light, please purify this place of defilement!"
Emily Whiteqing roared, raising her warhammer high. Brilliant holy light condensed into a massive pillar of light, like a spear of judgment, which crashed down upon the head of a bloated [Fallen Priest] that was constantly spewing black slime.
-88,451!
The holy light and dark energy clashed violently, producing a sizzling sound.
The fallen priest let out a piercing scream, and his health bar visibly dropped significantly.
"Karl, provide cover on the left flank!! Helena, dispel the Corruption Curse on the front line!" Emily's voice was firm and clear, and the [Aura of Devotion] emanating from her made all her teammates within range feel at ease.
Karl, the guardian, stood like the most loyal bulwark, raising his shield to deflect the shadow arrows that came from the side.
Helena then waved her staff, and a pure, dispelling light swept across, clearing the negative status effects from the tank.
Their advance may not be the fastest, but it is definitely the most stable.
The power of Holy Light has a natural advantage against undead and corrupted creatures in the dungeon, making them consume relatively little energy and have extremely strong endurance.
"Miss Emily, according to ancient records, a sacred relic is sealed deep within this corrupted sanctuary. Perhaps we can use the power of this relic to challenge even more powerful beings and find clues to the guild's founding token," Helena said during a break in the battle.
Emily nodded, her azure eyes gleaming with wisdom and determination: "The Lord's grace must be earned with our own hands. We will not place our hopes entirely in others; the glory of Maya City shall be forged by our own hands." In the name of the Holy Light, she would carve out a pure land and a future for them on this polluted land.
Cairo City, Endless Sands - Eye of the Shifting Sands (Level 45 Elite Wilderness Area).
"Hahaha! That was great! Let's do it again!!!"
Raj Kumar's wild laughter echoed across the scorching desert.
He was shirtless, his bronze skin gleaming like metal under the blazing sun, his body covered in blood, yet he seemed oblivious to pain and exhaustion.
The twin axes swung, creating two blood-red storms that tore the Sandscale Raiders emerging from the quicksand to shreds.
-25,487! -31,105! -Critical Hit! -68,924!
His damage numbers are ferocious and exaggerated; the [Berserker's Blood] talent makes his attacks even more ferocious the more he is injured.
He doesn't need complicated tactics or tight formations; he is the sharpest spear, leaving only destruction in his wake!
Arjun Mishra sat quietly on a sand dune a little further away, his hands clasped together, chanting ancient scriptures in a low voice.
A faint golden light emanated from him, spreading outwards and forming a unique amplification field.
Whenever Raji's health drops to a dangerous level, a timely and precise healing spell will be cast upon him, simultaneously dispelling negative status effects such as bleeding and poisoning.
"Raji, three kilometers to the northeast, there's an unusually intense energy fluctuation, possibly indicating a large sandworm nest." Arjun's eyes were closed, yet he seemed to know everything around him; his voice calmly reached Raji's ears.
"Sandworm? Great!! Let's kill it, maybe we can dig up some good stuff!" Raji cleaved the last raider's head in two with an axe, licked the blood splattered on his lips, and his eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit.
"A guild establishment order? I refuse to believe that we can turn this endless desert upside down and not find a single broken sign! Arjun, let's go!!"
He disdained to gather information or engage in power struggles with other factions. In his dictionary, there was only one word—fight!
Use the most direct and brutal methods to crush all obstacles and seize everything you want!
Ye Yao's enigmatic and ruthless nature, Chen Shan's unbreakable resolve, Emily's holy judgment, and Raj's wild and domineering power...
These top-tier SSS-level talents may have different methods and distinct personalities, but they have shown an astonishing consistency in their pursuit of power and the struggle for the guild-building token.
With their extraordinary talent and strength, they led their respective core teams and fearlessly rushed into the most dangerous, yet potentially most rewarding, areas on the mainland.
The competition between them was silent yet fierce.
They don't need to shout on the world channel; their actions themselves are the strongest declaration.
The establishment of the first player guild on the mainland was like a shot in the arm, not only stimulating ordinary players and major forces, but also completely igniting the fighting spirit and ambition in the hearts of these top players.
