Chapter 273: Talent: Infinite Stamina?

“Hiss!”

“That’s too unbelievable!”

The old players of the Twin Dragon Mount fort all gasped.

Those who stood here all had enough understanding of the Land of Inheritance except Elder Zhou.

There had been no accurate statistics on the combat ability of the Transcendent heroes, but theoretically speaking, even the Extraordinary Rank-9 heroes could only fight about a thousand enemies at the same time.

Even if the Transcendent heroes were a hundred times stronger than them, they couldn’t have fought more than a hundred thousand enemies at one time.

One fighting a million… No, one slaughtering a million was beyond the level of Transcendent!

“That’s why I’m surprised at Li Yuanba’s arrival!” Elder Meng said.

It was also the reason why he never considered that the toughest general of Sui and Tang would arrive!

“As a matter of fact, I think it’s fine that Li Yuanba turns out to be Transcendent!”

However, Elder Zhou proposed a different opinion.

“According to my research, the level of the heroes on the Land of Inheritance is decided by multiple factors.

“First of all, the earthlings’ comprehensive understanding of them. Well, it’s not the understanding of ‘most people’, as stated on the forum, but everyone’s understanding. However, since the majority often have the same understanding, most of their stats are decided by such understanding.

“Take Water Margin for example. Although Transcendent powers that involved gods and devils are mentioned in many parts, the characters in it are only slightly extraordinary in the eyes of most people who haven’t read the original novel. Therefore, Chief Lu and Chief Wu have to grow strong step by step, and they weren’t too strong at the beginning!

“By the same logic, most people regard Li Yuanba as a top general who is slightly Transcendent and can wave a heavy hammer of four hundred kilograms. Most people don’t know that he fought a million enemies, and those who do aren’t really convinced. After all, it sounds too outrageous.”

Elder Zhou shook his head.

That was the truth. One fighting ten thousand enemies was already a feat of the best generals in ancient times, but one fighting a million was too unbelievable even in novels.

“However, the knowledge of the minority and the original novel are factors of influence too. For example, the heroes from Liangshan can borrow the power of stars, Chief Gongsun can ride the clouds, and Li Yuanba has the history of one fighting a million. Like Zhao Yun, he must be a hero who’s between Transcendent and Legendary and has chosen to arrive as a Transcendent hero!”

Although Elder Zhou was a new player, he had a deeper understanding of the rules on the Land of Inheritance as a sophisticated researcher than the beta testers such as Ji Ye did.

Also, it was his suggestion that the Long Gold Hammers were used as offerings.

Perhaps what he described was the truth on the Land of Inheritance.

However, it was actually not worth discussing as to what level Li Yuanba was at.

Whether he was Transcendent or Legendary, it was impossible for Li Yuanba to fail such a challenge.

[“He looked abnormal as a reincarnated god, and he was invincible though he was slim. He was knighted at twelve. His arms were stronger than four elephants…”]

Inside the Temple of Providence, the loud poetic announcement was still ongoing.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

On the golden battlefield, the slim black-armored hero who had been surrounded went on a killing spree and massacred the Beast Blood Guards.

[“He held hammers that weighed four hundred kilograms. He fought a million soldiers on his own. The drumming pierced through the clouds. His soaring killing intent eclipsed the stars…”]

Holding one 200kg hammer was already unbelievable enough. It was not hard to imagine the appalling strength in his arms that were holding 400kg hammers as if they were 400g.

Because of the animal blood that was fused into them, the Beast Blood Guards were all no weaker than Ordinary Rank-8 and Rank-9 in terms of body hardness.

They even had the enhancement of all kinds of beast abilities!

However, after they lunged at Li Yuanba whose head was at the same altitude as their chests, they were smashed away brutally by a pair of golden hammers like ragged bags, before they knocked aside their partners who were behind them with enormous momentum.

All the people who were hit by the golden hammers had broken bones and squished internal organs. Their blood was gushing out.

Not a single Beast Blood Guard could possibly bear one attack from Li Yuanba, even including the Bear Blood guards who focused on defense. They would lose all their combat ability even if they survived one attack.

It was safe to say that Wu Song’s poetic announcement was an apt description for Li Yuanba at this moment.

“He is a fiend that has arrived from the sky and walks on the earth!”

“This man is really strong!”

Ruan Xiaoer, who had been observing the battle, was quite surprised even though he was good at melee battles himself.

He was known as a walking fiend too, but he didn’t think he could’ve persisted any longer after killing several dozens of people if he were Li Yuanba.

After all, the enemies were no regular soldiers but the elite guards who worked for the West King of Yuan.

[“Mountains of bones and oceans of blood obscured the sky. The million soldiers collapsed like sand. All gods and devils were frightened…”]

The poetic announcement went on, and the number of the Beast Blood Guards kept dwindling. In the blink of an eye, only one-third of the five hundred soldiers were still standing.

After only one verse of the poem, seventy percent of the five hundred Extraordinary Beast Blood Guards had been killed.

Such a dreadful casualty rate and the completely one-sided battle would’ve deprived any sane soldiers of their morale and resolve to keep fighting even though they were battle-tested.

“Roar, roar…”

However, the Beast Blood Guards were exceptions.

Their minds had all been greatly affected after they activated the beast blood.

It was also the reason why they brutalized each other due to the Deluding Gas back on the Battlefield of Providence.

So, they had no sense of fear even under these circumstances, and they continued roaring like beasts and charging at Li Yuanba whose armor had been dyed red by blood.

Boom!

Li Yuanba showed no intention of stopping at all.

He waved his golden hammers and smashed a Lion Blood soldier, blowing up his head and knocking his body back into a dozen partners behind him.

“His strength has never been weakened since the beginning…”

Watching the scene, even Zhao Yun put on an unusual expression.

Although he had arrived as a young man, he had the memories of his fate in his head.

He knew that he would ride back and forth at Changbanpo seven times amidst hundreds of thousands of Cao soldiers and kill 54 enemy generals!

But that was on the premise that his Transcendent power wasn’t sealed and he was in his best state. At this moment, it was impossible for him to slay the five hundred Beast Blood Guards.

That was because killing actually demanded a lot of strength.

Even though his spear technique was known for its agility and precision, it would still take a lot of strength for him to kill the Beast Blood Guards who had been hardened by the animal blood.

With his abilities, he would’ve been exhausted after killing two to three hundred people while he was still Extraordinary Rank-7!

The black-armored hero, on the other hand, was using a pair of hammers that weighed four hundred kilograms. The strength required to launch every attack was much higher than that for his Snow Spear.

Besides, the hero didn’t save strength in any attack. His every attack could’ve only been resisted by an Extraordinary Rank-7 hero with his best.

In such a case, a normal person would’ve been exhausted after dozens of swings, yet the black-armored hero had swung it more than a hundred times. It equaled to a hundred consecutive full-strength attacks of an Extraordinary Rank-7 hero!

However, his strength was still not dwindling.

“Is that really it?

“Li Yuanba must have a talent that’s sort of ‘Infinite Stamina’!”

Ji Ye, who had also noticed that, had a guess.

A hero’s talent mostly had to do with their most outstanding achievement.

For example, Zhao Yun’s Power of Dragon Valiance was obviously based on his experiences when he scared off a hundred thousand soldiers on his own and when he fought bravely in Changbanpo.

Li Yuanba’s greatest feat was undoubtedly the slaughter of a million enemies.

It would’ve been impossible for a normal person to kill a million people even if he could use a pair of hammers that weighed a thousand or ten thousand kilograms.

That was because the heavier a weapon was, the greater burden it would be, and a person only had limited strength. If Li Yuanba could slay a million people, the only explanation was that he had talents such as infinite stamina!

“It’s true that the more famous and popular a hero is, the more marvelous their talent will be.

“Infinite Stamina is not as good as Zhao Yun’s Invincibility in a way, but together with heavy weapons such as war hammers, it will be easy to crush a massive troop in a one-sided slaughter!”

Ji Ye looked at the battlefield, where only several dozen Beast Blood Guards were left under Li Yuanba’s golden hammers.

There was no suspense to this battle anymore…

Well, wait, there was still suspense!
