Chapter 257 The Swordholder!
Chapter 257 The Swordholder!
Lin Yuan slept until he naturally woke up. It was the most restful sleep he had had in days. He felt neither alert nor tired. When he woke up, he felt refreshed and his spiritual energy was even more abundant.
He stretched, got up, and walked to the living room window, where the Divine Firmament Celestial Master Seal still sat on the windowsill, emitting a faint golden light. Even after a night, its light had not diminished in the slightest, still enveloping the entire dormitory and protecting it.
Lin Yuan reached out and picked up the Heavenly Master Seal. It was still warm to the touch, and the energy inside was still plentiful. It seemed that the Yin energy from last night hadn't consumed much of its power. Its power was indeed very strong.
Looking down out the window, the corridor floor was covered with fine, grayish-white dust. These were the traces left behind after the evil spirits that had been killed by the Celestial Master's Seal last night. The entire corridor was covered with dust, but there was no trace of coldness. The evil spirits had been completely purified.
It seems that all the evil spirits from last night were completely wiped out by the Celestial Master's Seal. Not a single one could get close to the dormitory. This dust is their last trace.
"Looks like all those things from last night have been resolved." Lin Yuan looked at the dust and couldn't help but smile. This second-tier Celestial Master Seal was indeed useful.
Just then, An Xin woke up. Rubbing her eyes, she came out of the bedroom and saw Lin Yuan at the door and the dust. She paused for a moment, then asked, "What's wrong? What are these?"
"These are the traces left by those Yin spirits from last night," Lin Yuan said with a smile. "They were all suppressed and killed by the Celestial Master's Seal. These are what's left of them."
Upon hearing this, An Xin walked over, looked at the dust, and nodded: "Oh, I see. It seems that everything from last night has been resolved."
Ignoring all that, the two finished washing up, made breakfast, ate a little something, and then started packing their things to prepare for today's tasks.
A new day begins. Today, they are entering a new mission world. Therefore, they need to pack their belongings, take all the newly acquired items, Anxin's sniper rifle, Lin Yuan's sword, and the Celestial Master's Seal with them to prepare for the new mission.
After packing their things, the two arrived at the Gate of Survival.
Look up at the wooden sign.
At this moment, information was already appearing on the surface of the wooden sign.
Lin Yuan and An Xin both crowded around, wanting to see what the mission was this time.
Then they saw the above content:
[Today's Mission World: Swordholder Assessment]
[Mission Description: A group of players have illegally changed their identities, transforming themselves into monsters, and are attempting to escape the game world in this way.]
[Mission Requirements: Enter the mission world, find all the Fallen Ones, kill them all, and prevent them from leaving the game world. Upon completion of the mission, you will be qualified to become a formal Swordholder.]
Lin Yuan and An Xin were both stunned when they saw the notification.
The Swordholder Assessment?
The Swordholder?
They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
They've experienced so many mission worlds, and they've never heard of the Swordholder before.
"Sword Bearer? What's that?" An Xin frowned, reached up, and stroked her chin. "We've been doing missions for so long, and we've never heard of this before. It seems like we've never had any assessment like this before?"
Lin Yuan frowned as well. He had never heard of the Swordholders before, but judging from the game's hints, the Swordholders were directly commanded by the game's will. They possessed great power and could directly deal with players who violated the rules and those who disrupted the game world.
Moreover, they can gain a deeper understanding of the truth behind the game and the training system, something that ordinary players simply don't have the opportunity to learn.
Upon hearing this, An Xin's eyes lit up instantly: "Really? That means if we become the Swordholders, we can gain a deeper understanding of the truth behind this game?"
Lin Yuan nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "That's right! That's exactly it! We've been doing quests for so long, and we still don't know what this game world is all about... But if we become Swordholders, then we'll know!"
This is something they've always wanted to know!
But... now, they have an opportunity, a chance to gain a deeper understanding of the game: to become Swordholders!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"This is such a rare opportunity!" An Xin exclaimed excitedly. "We actually encountered such a test! This is our chance!"
Lin Yuan nodded, thrilled. He hadn't expected that this mission would be a test for sword wielders. This was a rare opportunity; many trainees had never encountered such a test in their entire lives, yet they had!
"That's right, this is a rare opportunity!" Lin Yuan looked at the wooden sign, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. "We must seize this chance!"
Both of them were very excited. The previous missions were just for the purpose of getting rewards and improving their strength.
However, this mission is different; this mission will allow them to learn the truth about the game.
The two looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
"Are you ready?" Lin Yuan asked, looking at An Xin.
"Ready!" Anxin nodded and said with a smile.
Lin Yuan smiled, then reached out and pushed open the door to survival.
In an instant, spatial ripples enveloped them, and the dormitory in front of them receded like the tide.
Lin Yuan's reassured figure disappeared from the dormitory, entering the gate of survival...
