Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 536 - 308: Ways to Clear the Game with Wisdom and Violence_2

The bricks on the ground are all square... curved square bricks, and the walls are made of the same bricks. The only exception is the entrance of the room, where there is a complete strip-shaped stone block.

Presumably, that block is where the gate is placed.

In fact, hints are everywhere; one just needs to closely observe and think to understand the meaning behind them.

After securing the deadly rolling ball, the three walked outside, and Luo Heng smiled and said, "Next, as long as we do the same thing as this time—secure the deadly rolling ball at each intersection—passing through will be easy."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and Chen Qingyun and Lu Yu instinctively became alert to their surroundings.

Luo Heng also sensed the stagnant air, looking at the two with some confusion, not immediately comprehending.

A moment later, Chen Qingyun and Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Qingyun remarked, "Looks like there's no surprise this time."

When Luo Heng heard him, he came to his senses and angrily said, "I'm not a jinx!"

"Hmm, you'd better not be," Chen Qingyun glanced at him and said.

Luo Heng crossed his arms, sulking and unwilling to speak; he merely foresaw a few things inversely. Why should that make him a jinx?

The trio reached the intersection, and Lu Yu halted, saying, "Wait here. I'll go ahead and see if there's a room to secure the deadly rolling ball on the main path."

Chen Qingyun nodded, "Alright."

Luo Heng sulked, unwilling to speak.

Lu Yu waited for the deadly rolling ball to nearly reach the starting point, then swiftly turned and left the intersection, racing toward the end of the main path with maximum speed.

As soon as the deadly rolling ball sensed Lu Yu's presence, it paused for a moment, then accelerated towards Lu Yu in reverse, rolling ever faster.

The main path is much longer than the side paths, at least a dozen kilometers, unlike the side paths that are only a few kilometers, or even just over a kilometer.

If it were merely a straight line, it wouldn't be problematic, but the main path has several curves, preventing Lu Yu from rushing straight through.

Passing the first intersection, Lu Yu didn't stop or enter, and the deadly rolling ball inside didn't emerge either.

Passing the second intersection, Lu Yu proceeded onward, while the speed of the deadly rolling ball had already escalated to a shocking pace, seemingly on the verge of catching up to Lu Yu.

Passing the third intersection, the gap between Lu Yu and the deadly rolling ball narrowed.

Passing the fourth intersection, the gap quickly closed.

Whew~ The air didn't even have time to react as Lu Yu passed through, transforming into a stream of light, stepping on the wall to turn in mid-air and shooting into the side path entrance.

Behind him, the deadly rolling ball roared past, its speed surpassing his, unable to stop as it raced toward the end of the main path.

Rumble rumble~ The sound of rolling balls in the side path was drowned out completely by the noise from the main path; even the ground's vibrations were entirely silenced.

As Lu Yu entered the intersection, the deadly rolling ball passed right behind him.

Following the deadly rolling ball's passage, he dashed out of the entrance, pursuing the next intersection.

Deadly rolling ball inside the side path: "…", it wondered whether it should even roll out of its room.

Although the deadly rolling ball in the main path sensed Lu Yu trailing behind, its speed had reached a high level, making it difficult to brake and turn.

Thus, Lu Yu followed behind the deadly rolling ball, passing one intersection, nearly reaching the second one when the deadly rolling ball finally managed to slow down, preparing to turn around.

Lu Yu flew through the air, kicking the slowing, about to turn deadly rolling ball.

Upon kicking the deadly rolling ball, Lu Yu felt a gigantic force attempting to slow the ball and push it toward him.

"Get over there!" Lu Yu shouted, his Qi Blood surging forth as his strength exploded, forcefully accelerating the slowing deadly rolling ball.

However, it soon slowed again, preparing to turn.

Lu Yu activated the Blood Burning Secret Technique, exploding his Qi Blood, amplifying his battle power fivefold!

Pushing the deadly rolling ball, resisting the force atop the ball, he pushed it forward.

Without the aid of momentum, Lu Yu feared nothing from the force of the deadly rolling ball; his strength matched it.

In the upper level of the Magic Spirit Castle, the wolf steward faced Lu Yu, forcing the deadly rolling ball forward with no expression, and swiped at the control panel, cranking the deadly ball's force to maximum.

Boom~ Crackle crackle crackle~ The force atop the deadly rolling ball surged, causing Lu Yu's outer forearm capillaries to burst, spraying blood mist.

What sprayed out wasn't true blood, but the reverse-flowing Qi Blood within Lu Yu. The pressure exerted by reverse-flowing Qi Blood was substantial enough; under the simultaneous internal and external pressure, his blood vessels couldn't bear the strain and ruptured.

The vessel rupture, expelling reverse-flowing Qi Blood, was actually a form of bodily self-defense; otherwise, excessive pressure might cause even more serious damage.

"Level up!" In his mind, Lu Yu called forth the attribute panel, upgrading the Blood Burning Secret Technique.

Consuming nearly five million experience points, the Blood Burning Secret Technique was leveled up.

[Through painstaking training, Blood Burning Secret Technique (Ultimate) → Blood Burning Secret Technique (Divine Skill)]

The upgraded Blood Burning Secret Technique allowed a tenfold increase in battle power, enhancing strength, speed, and physical defense tenfold.

The cost was reversing eighty percent of the Qi Blood, but Lu Yu's Qi Blood had already reversed seventy percent, leaving little to fuel reverse burning.

His Spiritual Power began to change, flooding into his bones and filling his blood marrow, new Qi Blood surged from the Blazing Blood Marrow, nourishing Lu Yu's damaged body, joining the reverse-burning Qi Blood engine, empowering him.

"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~" Lu Yu ceased suppressing the influence of Qi Blood, his body swelling as if inflated, every inch of skin imbued with copious Qi Blood.

Standing over four meters tall, nearly five, Lu Yu propelled the deadly rolling ball with maximum strength, one step at a time, walking forward unstoppably.

The Divine Skill level of the Blood Burning Secret Technique granted Lu Yu the ability to convert Spiritual Power and Qi Blood mutually.

By converting Spiritual Power into Qi Blood, it was vastly faster than natural Qi Blood recovery; almost instantly, Lu Yu's Qi Blood replenished from depletion, rapidly recharged.

As long as his Spiritual Power endured, Qi Blood would endlessly replenish.

With his physique, he could completely withstand the burst from the Blood Burning Secret Technique at its Divine Skill level, maximizing its effects.

Crack~ Lu Yu heard a crisp sound and shifted his gaze, staring at the deadly rolling ball; the sound came from within.

Then, the deadly rolling ball's force rapidly diminished, as a gap birthed within swiftly spread to the surface, and the deadly rolling ball began cracking.

Of course, it didn't break entirely or split in half, but merely developed a deep fissure exposing the deadly ball's core.

Lu Yu "gently" pushed, accelerating the deadly rolling ball's movement forward, traveling a short distance before slowing again, when Lu Yu "gently" pushed once more.

Whew~ Whew~ Whew~ A push to move, a move to push.

Thus, Lu Yu shoved the nearly broken deadly rolling ball to the end of the main path.

Boom~ The gate fell, confining the deadly rolling ball within a room, where Lu Yu discovered a lucky card.

[Completed side quest "Deadly Rolling Ball Game," obtained a lucky card and one million experience points]

[Reputation bonus, gained an additional 800,000 experience points]

[Having completed two side quests, triggered new side quest "Death Cell Day Trip"]

[Side quest "Death Cell Day Trip": Play the game fully—if you don't experience all game content (including death), how could you say you've fully "played" the game?]

[Task details: Death cells used to detain convicts in Magic Spirit Castle, but ever since it was built, no convicts were held. Thus, only magic spirit dolls remain, and the wolf steward was once a magic spirit doll in the death cells.]

[Hint: This side quest is special, and won't reward a lucky card]
