Chapter 175: The Correct Way
Even after becoming more skilled later on, increasing the pace or attacking twice would still far from achieving the task of ten million Gray Spirit Coins.
Moreover, there was another issue. When attacking the Terracotta Army earlier, Lian Yun noticed that the Terracotta Army was not completely motionless; it seemed as if they were fixed in place by some spatial force, unable to be moved by human strength.
Lian Yun felt that this was clearly not a normal strategy, so he recalled the various issues during his time in the Yin Yang Train and in the novice village.
Initially, Lian Yun thought that the two tasks before entering the novice village were meant to raise awareness and caution. Then there was the Hidden Mission, which required one to move forward bravely and fearlessly.
However, Lian Yun suddenly realized that this Hidden Mission was not something just anyone could undertake. From the circumstances of triggering the Hidden Mission, it was evident that only those with strength far beyond their level were qualified to accept it.
Thus, the purpose of encouraging bravery and fearlessness was not universally applicable in Yin Yang City but rather a reminder for certain Talents.
Ordinary people or Spirits would inevitably meet their demise if they recklessly charged forward without fear. However, for Talents, lacking a courageous mindset would slow their growth, and they could easily fall behind if they weren't careful.
Then Lian Yun initially thought that being underground a hundred meters deep imposed certain limitations on Spirits, potentially binding them to this depth. But now he considered that since it was a mission, Spirits might also be able to accept it.
If this underground environment did limit Spirits, it would make completing the mission even more challenging. Therefore, Lian Yun concluded that since this was Yin Yang City, there shouldn't be such external limitations.
He also thought that the content of this Hidden Mission might change according to the abilities of those who accepted it.
For example, regarding the immortality attribute of the Terracotta Army.
Lian Yun recalled Big Head and the Three Spirits; after absorbing Purple Qi, they had gained similar immortal capabilities.
Perhaps Big Head and the Three Spirits had the ability to attack the Terracotta Army as well.
However, despite this idea, Lian Yun weighed his options for a while before deciding to summon Yang Zai Xing first because he was the strongest. In case of any unexpected events, he could withstand them longer, giving Lian Yun enough time to retract him into the Yin-Yang Stage.
After summoning Yang Zai Xing, Lian Yun immediately asked, "General Yang, do you sense anything unusual?"
After pacing in place for a moment, Yang Zai Xing replied, "Reporting to my Lord, it is no different from the surface; there is nothing unusual."
Lian Yun let out a slight sigh of relief and said, "Then I will trouble the general to engage in battle."
"I will obey your command!"
Yang Zai Xing spurred his horse forward, charging directly at the Horse-Drawn Carriage of the Terracotta Army Formation.
With a swift motion, Yang Zai Xing pointed his spear, and the head of one of the stone horses from the Horse-Drawn Carriage shattered instantly. Although it was in the process of self-healing, it still gave off an impression of being like stone—solid yet not overly resilient, making it susceptible to being broken.
As expected, Lian Yun immediately summoned Big Head, Sword Mountain, Three Spirits, and Chen Er Gou to join the fight first.
After considering for a moment, he also released Zhao Jinlong, Zhao Jinhui, as well as Shihai Yong and Bai Yuancheng.
Zhao Jinlong and Zhao Jinhui had absorbed Purple Qi for quite some time and had gained a certain level of ability. Therefore, Lian Yun paid little attention to them and focused instead on Shihai Yong and Bai Yuancheng.
Although Shihai Yong and Bai Yuancheng had elevated their realms after signing contracts with Lian Yun, they subsequently compressed their levels down to that of beginner Ghost Kings with the help of the Yin-Yang Stage. The amount of Purple Qi they absorbed was pitifully small, leaving them without much capability.
When Lian Yun saw that their attacks on the Terracotta Army seemed ineffective, he instructed them not to engage in battle but to stay at the edge of the basin and protect others while waiting for an opportunity.
Lian Yun then realized another issue: while Yang Zai Xing and the others attacked from the periphery, they would only be targeted by nearby Terracotta Army units and would not face an all-out assault from every single one.
This meant that if Lian Yun charged under the stone pillars, the number of Terracotta Army units surrounding him would significantly decrease.
In such a situation with some breathing room, Lian Yun would have no trouble dodging attacks and could strike at the Dragon Carved Stone Pillar several times.
To be honest, in this treacherous territory of Yin Yang City, those who were too clever often ended up making foolish mistakes. Lian Yun had experienced this before when his cleverness backfired on him.
Now alone within the area near the stone pillars, although Ghost Slaves helped restrain some of the Terracotta Army units, there were still many attacking Lian Yun. Due to spatial constraints, from the very beginning, not all of the Terracotta Army could target him simultaneously.
While there were fewer attackers now than before, their assault on Lian Yun remained nearly unchanged; he was surrounded with only an escape route above. Moreover, Lian Yun still could not shake off any of the Terracotta Army; it was as if his attacks were doing no damage whatsoever.
It wasn't until his third attack that Lian Yun finally realized he needed Yang Zai Xing to clear a path for him. He instructed him to attack some of the Terracotta Army near the stone pillars to create more space for himself so that he could strike at the Dragon Carved Stone Pillar a few more times.
Due to Yang Zai Xing's nearly overwhelming combat power, especially when facing ancient Unit Types, it seemed to have a natural advantage, delivering tremendous destructive force.
Lian Yun attacked the stone pillar with all his might a hundred times. By the time he was feeling somewhat exhausted, he was still fighting vigorously. It appeared that he had become significantly stronger than before.
On the third attack, Lian Yun received nearly ten thousand Gray Spirit Coins as a reward. This was an unexpected delight, as it meant he could quickly accumulate close to two hundred thousand Gray Spirit Coins, far exceeding his initial expectations.
However, even after resting and absorbing spiritual energy for nearly an hour, when he attacked again, he brought Sword Mountain along with him.
It was unclear whether it was due to his improved realm or the influence of Big Head's teachings, but now Sword Mountain, though still somewhat clumsy and honest, often displayed remarkable instincts during battle that seemed almost instinctual yet highly effective.
Moreover, Sword Mountain was incredibly strong; even if it couldn't shatter the Terracotta Army with a single punch, it could still send several of them flying. If it charged forward, it would almost clear a path through everything in its way.
This greatly increased Lian Yun's maneuvering space.
As a result, Lian Yun no longer focused solely on full-force attacks but began to probe continuously.
He aimed to find the most efficient strategy. For instance, determining at what strength he could gain the most Gray Spirit Coins or whether repeatedly attacking the same point would yield more Gray Spirit Coins.
