After Becoming a Solo Player, My Unlimited Skills Made Me Invincible - Chapter 38

Guardian

“Hmm… Did I fall asleep?”

Ten hours later, Mo Xiao groggily opened his eyes.

Although yesterday he had spent the whole afternoon killing monsters, they were all weak trash mobs that could be easily taken down with a single skill.

It didn’t require much effort at all, and he could easily handle them.

As for the second guardian just now, not only did it have high HP, but it also had a high dodging rate.

Its attack power was even more exaggerated.

With just a slight touch, his HP instantly plummeted.

He had to fully immerse himself in the battle.

After four hours, he was already mentally exhausted, and as soon as he relaxed, he fell into a deep sleep.

“This thing is really hard to defeat. I wonder if I can go back now.”

Mo Xiao lay on the ground for a while before slowly getting up.

He walked briskly towards the center of the arena, towards the enormous corpse of Guardian Number 2.

[You obtained Guardian’s Chest *1]

[You obtained Guardian’s Saber*1]

[You obtained Guardian’s Heavy Armor*1]

[You obtained Guardian’s Greaves*1]

[You obtained Evil Qi Fragment*1]

Looking at the series of messages, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Guardian’s Heavy Armor and Guardian’s Greaves were obviously from the Guardian’s Set.

Judging from the situation, they were definitely not something he could equip at the moment.

So Mo Xiao didn’t even bother looking at them and directly stored them in his backpack.

“Evil Qi fragment? What is this?” Mo Xiao curiously picked up the evil Qi fragment.

[Evil Qi Fragment: A special item from the Trial Grounds, possesses an extremely eerie power. When used, it increases all attributes by 300 points for ten minutes, and it can be stacked. PS: Excessive use is not recommended as it may have a detrimental effect on one’s mental state.]

“Increase all attributes by 300? That exaggerated? It can even be stacked?! If I eat more than 10 in one go, won’t I be invincible? I wonder how many I can’t overuse.”

Mo Xiao sighed and took the fragment to rub against it.

[You rubbed against the evil qi fragment. The evil qi fragment sublimated into an evil qi condensation.]

[Evil Energy Condensation Block: A special item from the trial ground. The owner has an extremely strange power. After using it, all attributes will increase by 1,000 points for five minutes. It can be stacked. Ps: You can’t use it excessively, or it will have a bad effect on your consciousness.]

“Increases all attributes by 300? That’s so exaggerated! And it can be stacked?! If I consume a dozen of these at once, wouldn’t I become invincible? I wonder how many is considered excessive use.”

Putting away the Demonic Qi Congealing Block, although the name was a bit off, Mo Xiao had a feeling that he would definitely be able to use it.

[You rubbed the Guardian’s Treasure Chest, and it transcended into the Defender’s Treasure Chest!]

[You have opened the guardian treasure chest and obtained the guardian heavy sword!]

[Guardian’s Heavy Sword]

Grade: Purple

Strength: 300

Attack Power: 300

Critical Strike: 25%

Physique: 50

Bladeless Heavy Sword: This sword has no sharp edge and relies solely on its weight for attacks. When attacking, the user gains Unyielding effect, ignoring all forms of control.

Guardian Power: Possesses the formidable defensive power of the Guardian. When used, it grants a shield equivalent to 20% of the user’s maximum HP.

Mountain-Cleaving Strike: A swing of the sword unleashes a powerful sword energy that can split mountains, dealing damage equal to 500% of the user’s strength. Cost: 1000 HP. Cooldown: 5 minutes.

Upgradeable: This equipment can be upgraded through a special method.

Set: Guardian’s Heavy Sword, Guardian’s Magic Armor, Guardian’s Greaves, Guardian’s Helm.

Equipment Level: LV25

“Hmm? It can be equipped at only level 25? Aren’t Guardians supposed to be more powerful than Guardians of the Gate? Why is the level requirement lower?”

Mo Xiao was a bit confused as he looked at the attributes of the equipment.

[This equipment is obtained from the Guardian’s Chest, and the usable level will change based on the opener of the chest. Therefore, the minimum equipment level is 25, and it cannot go any lower, resulting in a level 25 equipment being obtained.]

“Oh… I see.”

Mo Xiao nodded slightly.

“I just need to level up three more times, then I can use it. I’ll worry about it after I level up.”

One couldn’t deny that the solo player profession was truly amazing.

Not only could he ignore the class requirements to learn skills and use equipment, but he could also use high-level equipment across 10 levels.

If there really was a solo player among those big families, as long as they slightly tilted the resources towards him, he would definitely be much stronger than the average S-class professional.

As for Mo Xiao, this anomaly, if it weren’t for his talent of rubbing the edges of this bug-level talent, he would probably not even be able to leave the city.

Thinking about this, Mo Xiao shook his head lightly and walked directly towards the next passage.

[Congratulations on passing Trial 2. Would you like to enter the next Trial Space?]

“System, can’t you just let me out? I feel like I won’t be able to handle it if it goes further…”

Mo Xiao asked helplessly.

[Trial Space is a special space, and you cannot exit before completing the trial.]

Although he knew this answer himself, he had no other choice but to continue moving forward.

“Then let’s enter the next space.”

Once again, a bright light flashed,

and Mo Xiao appeared in an open space.

[You have arrived at the Trial Grounds – Three. Please complete the trial!]

As the system prompt sounded, red lights flickered across the entire arena.

In the next moment, a total of 20 Guardian No. 1 appeared in the arena.

“Twenty guardians. This trial ground really thinks highly of me!”

Mo Xiao clenched his teeth, but he had no choice but to face them head-on.

He could only be grateful that it wasn’t two Guardian Number 2, or else it would have been a life-threatening situation for him.

…

An hour later.

[You have killed 20 Guardian Number 1 and gained 200,000 experience points!]

[Congratulations on reaching Level 14. All attributes increase by five points, and you have obtained 10 points to allocate freely.]

Mo Xiao stood panting in the center of the arena, stuffing a bunch of Guardian’s Great Swords and various sets into his backpack.

“Although these things are easier to deal with than Number 2, it’s still challenging to handle such a large number…” Mo Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Just as Mo Xiao was examining his backpack for any new items, the eerie red vines from the previous level appeared once again, instantly gathering all the corpses of the guardians.

Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao didn’t even think twice before turning around and running.

Leaving aside everything else, just the damage caused by those red vines alone was enough to give him a hard time.

“First, there were three of those monsters, and now there are twenty… Does this trial really not want anyone to pass?”

Mo Xiao gritted his teeth as he looked at the red sphere before him, his face full of nervousness. He had a feeling that the upcoming monster would probably take his life in one go.

[The Guardian has appeared. Participants, be vigilant!]

As the system notification sounded, the red sphere slowly unraveled.

A man clad in red armor from head to toe appeared directly in the center of the arena.

Introduction: A formidable entity at the end of the Guardian’s Trial, possessing the mysterious power to manipulate the Trial Grounds. Please refrain from attempting to fight him. Escaping is the only way out.
