The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

"By the way, a new batch of Torchbearer mobile terminals and a newly developed standard weapon have arrived."

Old Wei seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and tapped the screen on the counter: "The notification hasn't been sent out yet. It's just in time that you're here today. Pick up one set now, so you won't have to come back for it next time."

A moment later, a torchbearer wearing a black trench coat emerged from the small room marked "Daily Life".

He was holding a small, all-black box in his hand. The material looked like some kind of lightweight alloy, with a matte coating that reflected a subtle gleam under the light.

He walked over to Old Wei and placed the box on the counter.

The moment he put it down, he caught a glimpse of Wu You standing to the side waiting, and his gaze lingered on Wu You's face for about half a second.

Upon seeing those silver eyes, that pale silver sword mark, and that face that was so perfect it was almost inhuman, his gaze clearly wavered for a moment.

But he quickly realized what was happening, looked away, placed the small box steadily on the counter, and then turned and went back to the small room inside the quartermaster department.

Old Wei nodded slightly to Wu You.

Wu You reached out and opened the box.

The box has a simple internal structure, divided into two compartments, one on the left and one on the right, separated by black cushioning foam.

In the left compartment is a watch. The style is exactly the same as the original standard watch.

On the right are two small white spheres.

They were about the size of normal grapes, with smooth surfaces and no seams or patterns, like two carefully polished white pearls.

Wu You looked up at Old Wei.

Mr. Wei explained, "The new generation of mobile terminals mainly focuses on enhancing the detection function of new parasites on the corpse species."

"If another torchbearer is infected, the new generation of mobile terminals will be able to detect it immediately."

Wu You nodded upon hearing this: he understood that this was the Investigation Bureau's response to the new parasitic method developed by the Corpse Species during the previous Lanhe Divine Descent incident.

Then, Wu You picked up a white bead.

It feels very light, so light that you can hardly feel its weight, like an eggshell that has been emptied of air.

Seeing this, Elder Wei also said, "This is a new type of psionic weapon recently developed by the research institute, specifically for use in the Dark Domain. Its name is White Pill."

"In the Dark Domain, it can unleash power roughly equivalent to a full-force attack from a fourth-tier ability user in an instant. The effective kill diameter is approximately three meters."

Wu You understood.

A fourth-tier ability user's full-force attack has a kill radius of three meters and can only be used in the Dark Domain—isn't this just a grenade that can only be used in the Dark Domain?

For the Torchbearer squads who spend their days cleaning up low-level corpses in the Dark Domain, this should be a good thing.

When you encounter a group of low-level zombies surrounding you, throwing one at them can save you a lot of trouble.

At this point, Old Wei smiled and said, "Although it's not of much use to someone of your level, we still have to give it to you."

A moment later, Wu You, wearing a new mobile terminal on his left wrist, left the quartermaster department.

He stepped into the air and flew towards the city wall of the stronghold.

After passing through the teleportation portal on the city wall, Wu You once again saw the hilly area outside the stronghold, shrouded in a faint dark mist.

Without any hesitation, Wu You took to the air and sped towards the nearest B-level danger zone.

His figure left a thin line, half black and half white, in the dark fog, moving so fast that the fog didn't even have time to close behind him.

In an area where the fog was noticeably thicker, Wu You hovered in mid-air with his right hand outstretched.

A jet-black longsword materialized in his hand, and then his figure vanished from the spot.

Within that dark mist, flashes of silver and pure white sword light appeared intermittently.

Tier 3 Corpse Species? Kill!

A fourth-tier zombie? Kill!

A fifth-tier corpse species? Kill!

A sixth-tier corpse species? Kill!

Whenever he discovered a corpse creature, regardless of its rank, Wu You upheld the virtue of thrift and did not waste a single one.

Experience points +500

Experience points +2000

Experience points +2000

Experience points +4000

Experience points +2000

……

The numbers on the panel kept changing, each change representing the end of a zombie species.

About an hour later, Wu You finally stopped.

He hovered above an empty space where no zombies remained. Apart from a layer of gray-black dust on his black trench coat, his breathing rhythm hadn't changed at all.

After fighting for so long, Wu You himself had lost count of how many times he had swung his sword.

All he knew was that in this Class B danger zone, there were practically no more corpses to be seen.

He opened the Sword Manual panel.

Allocable experience points: 172.2w.

Upon seeing this number, Wu You frowned.

His gaze shifted to another column.

[Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter] (Chapter Two: The Cyclone Lock) (120.1 million words / 300 million words)

Currently, the second chapter of the Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter, the Xuan Lock Sword, is only 1.8 million experience points away from being mastered.

It's just 80,000 short.

"Is it still about 80,000 short...?" Wu You murmured.

Then, he directly allocated all of his current 172.2 million experience points to the [Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter].

Allocable experience points: 172.2w → Allocable experience points: 0

[Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter] (Chapter 2: Xuan Lock) (1,201,000/3,000,000) → [Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter] (Chapter 2: Xuan Lock) (2,923,000/3,000,000)

A flood of insights into the rules of "Xuan Lock" entered Wu You's mind.

Those insights are not words, images, or sounds, but a more direct "understanding" that transcends all senses and media.

He stood there, eyes closed, processing the flood of information that came in.

The only function of the Xuan Suo sword intent is to lock.

Lock down the space, lock down the capabilities, lock down the rules.

At this moment, he could already feel the thin layer of restraint, and even see the scenery on the other side through that layer of paper.

"Almost there..."

A moment later, Wu You roughly determined his location in this dark domain, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

However, this time he did not head directly to the next Class B danger zone.

The nearest Class B danger zone can only be reached by passing through a Class A danger zone.

Although Wu You is now completely fearless even when facing multiple eighth-tier corpses, the dark fog in the A-level danger zone is thicker, making the search less efficient.

In addition, killing eighth-tier corpses is definitely not as fast as killing lower-tier corpses.

Therefore, he chose the nearest Class C danger zone, which was adjacent to the Class B danger zone he had just been in.

A few minutes later, Wu You looked at the area in front of him where the dark fog had noticeably thinned out.

"With 80,000 experience points, cleaning up this place should be enough."

His figure moved swiftly through the Class C danger zone, where the fog was barely visible.

Experience points +500

Experience points +1000

Experience points +1000

Experience points +500

……

As Wu You's sword flashed past, those low-level corpses didn't even have time to react before they turned into black smoke and dissipated.

About ten minutes later, Wu You stopped.

He opened the Sword Manual panel.

Allocable experience points: 9.2w.

"That's enough."

Without any hesitation.

With a thought from Wu You.

[Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter] (Chapter 2: Xuan Lock) (292.3 million/3 million) → [Seven Tribulations Sword Chapter] (Chapter 2: Xuan Lock) (Complete)!

At this moment, the Xuan Lock Sword is complete!
