The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

At this moment, in the southwest corner of the secret realm.

In a swamp shrouded in gray mist.

The air smelled of rotting, withered leaves, and the mud underfoot bubbled and gurgled, with a few pale, bony hands occasionally sticking out of the mud.

"This environment is really..."

Gu Xu stepped out of the teleportation light, and with a hint of disgust, lifted his foot to look at the mud spots on his boots: "That's really gloomy."

Unlike the others, he didn't immediately assume a fighting stance upon landing.

Instead, they looked around as if they were on a picnic.

"The Ancient Battlefield of Asura... truly lives up to its name."

Gu Xu sighed, then a thought struck him.

"Come out, don't keep everyone waiting."

The air behind him suddenly distorted, and the temperature plummeted.

A scarlet figure appeared silently.

Beneath the red veil, a pair of unseen eyes seemed to be coldly observing this new world.

Immediately afterwards, a cloud of dark green, foul-smelling mist exploded at Gu Xu's feet.

"Squeak—!"

Tucci, leaning on his bone cane, emerged from the mist.

Its rotting flesh looked particularly disgusting in the gray fog, its beady green eyes gleamed with greed, and its nostrils twitched as if it could smell the deathly aura that had accumulated on this battlefield for thousands of years.

"Honey, to the left. Tucci, to the right. Don't go too far, clean up the flies around here."

Gu Xu casually gave the order.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sickening scraping sound suddenly came from the depths of the swamp.

In the mist ahead, countless red dots lit up.

It was a group of skeleton warriors clad in tattered armor, wielding rusty iron swords, advancing towards Gu Xu in a square formation. There were at least a hundred of them!

"Holy crap! So many?"

Someone on the viewing platform outside exclaimed in surprise.

"This kid's luck is just too bad!"

"Did I land in a monster's lair?"

"Hundreds of monsters! Even the First Legion would have to avoid them, right?"

Many people think Gu Xu's chances of winning this round are slim.

Even the strongest person would perish facing an attack of this scale.

However, the boy on the screen didn't move an inch.

He even took a can of drink out of his backpack and pulled the tab.

"Sizzle—"

The crisp sound of bubbles was particularly jarring in the deathly silent swamp.

Just as those skeleton warriors rushed into a 30-meter radius around Gu Xu...

A sudden change has occurred!

The once menacing army of skeletons...

It was like suddenly bumping into an invisible wall.

The skeletons at the very front, whose bones were originally as hard as iron, suddenly began to turn black and become brittle at an eerie speed.

It's like it's been weathered over millions of years.

"Click..."

Just as a skeleton raised its rusty sword, its arm bones snapped in mid-air and it fell into the mud.

Next came the leg bones, ribs...

They didn't even have a chance to swing a sword before they inexplicably fell apart.

It turned into a lifeless pile of broken bones.

And this is just the beginning.

The figure in the red wedding dress barely moved; she simply waved her pale hand lightly across her sleeve.

Several red lines flashed through the air.

"Bang bang bang—!"

The skeleton archers in the back row who tried to get around had their heads exploded neatly like ripe watermelons.

There were no screams, no struggle.

Only one-sided slaughter and silent destruction.

That extremely disgusting-looking rat even wandered around the strange pile.

Wherever it passed, the armor on the skeletons was quickly corroded and melted as if it had been splashed with strong acid, and the bones inside turned into black liquid.

Less than half a minute had passed.

Those hundreds of menacing elite skeletons vanished from the world completely.

Only a pile of black residue remained...

And those strings of wildly fluctuating points numbers.

Gu Xu took a sip of his soda, looked at the empty space ahead, and shook his head in dissatisfaction.

"It's too crunchy, it's no fun."

……

The square was deathly silent.

Those big shots who were just commenting on how well the First Legion coordinated were now gaping, their jaws practically dropping to the ground.

The teacup in Wang Meng's hand fell to the ground with a "crack" and shattered into pieces.

His eyes widened, and he pointed at the image on the screen, stammering, "What...what the hell is this?!"

"Did he...did he make a move? He didn't even seem to raise his hand, did he?"

"A halo? Or poison gas? Is that stuff a summoned creature? It looks even more sinister than a monster!"

Everyone's worldview was shaken at this moment.

They've seen the strong, they've seen the fierce.

But I've never seen anything like this before... where walking can kill a monster!

Is this supposed to be a martial arts demonstration?

Even Liu Gang, who had remained calm throughout, froze with a smile.

He looked at the two eerie summoned creatures on the screen, then at Gu Xu, who looked completely calm, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

This cleaning speed...

If this method were used on a person...

He dared not think any further.

Zhang Daoxuan, meanwhile, stared at the screen, his eyes gleaming with increasing intensity.

"Interesting...how interesting."

The old man stroked his beard, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

Hearing the gasps around her, Su Qiong slowly exhaled a smoke ring, a "basic" expression on her face.

She glanced at Wang Meng, whose face was pale, and said calmly, "Old Wang, don't be surprised."

"This is just the beginning."

"The best is yet to come."

……

Inside the secret realm, Gu Xu's "monster-hunting" continues!

"Click—"

With a crisp crack, a skeleton soldier attempting to ambush from the swamp had its skull not yet fully emerging from the water when it was crushed by a pale hand.

A red shadow flashed, and the skeleton didn't even have time for its soul fire to flicker.

It turned into a pile of worthless bone fragments and sank into the mud.

Gu Xu stepped over the broken bone expressionlessly.

Behind him, a massacre was taking place.

The Bride of Evil didn't need any fancy moves; with just a wave of her sleeves, the newly spawned monsters around her fell down in swathes, like harvested wheat.

Meanwhile, in the grass beside Gu Xu, a green blur was darting about at high speed.

Twitch, the source of the plague, appeared unusually excited, and wherever he went, there were ghosts hiding behind trees and zombies lying on the ground.

Green poisonous bubbles would inexplicably appear on their bodies, then turn into a pool of foul-smelling blood within seconds.
