These farmlands of Jamato are not particularly strong individually.
But their numbers are simply too great, densely packed, and endless.
What's more troublesome is that their bodies, made of mud and decaying plants, can easily absorb most physical impacts.
When swords and knives strike, they only create a spray of mud, but cannot cause fatal damage.
For a time, the entire battlefield was locked in a fierce and protracted battle, with explosions and the panting of the knights rising and falling in waves.
However, in this chaotic and stench-filled battlefield, Su Chen's figure seemed so out of place.
He stood there quietly, like a passerby who had wandered onto a film set, showing not a trace of nervousness.
He didn't even transform.
A Jyamato wielding a scythe let out a sharp screech and lunged at him, bringing with it a stench.
Su Chen simply raised his hand casually.
His movements weren't fast, but they were extremely precise.
With a swift and clean chop, he sliced into the pulsating core of the rotting cabbage in the opponent's chest.
The Jyamato's forward charge froze instantly.
The next second, with a muffled bang, it exploded, turning into countless data fragments that flew everywhere and vanished without a trace.
Another Jyamato silently crept up from behind, raising its hoe high in an attempt to ambush.
Su Chen didn't turn his head.
He simply delivered a clean spinning back kick.
The kick didn't even touch the monster's body.
The terrifying wind pressure generated by the leg gust alone shattered Jyamato's massive body into pieces.
He did not use any fancy moves, nor did he rely on any props.
He moved freely and leisurely through this tide of strange beings, relying solely on his pure human body.
His every move was extremely simple.
Every attack he made was outrageously efficient.
Every move he makes is absolutely fatal.
Jyamato, who gave Kurama Nene, Sakurai Kagekazu, and others a lot of headaches and required teamwork to barely kill, was as fragile as ripe wheat in autumn in front of him.
And he was the most efficient harvester.
He cleared his "fields" in an almost "harvesting" manner, shoveling out large swaths of land.
"Then...who is that person? He didn't transform!"
A new contestant had just painstakingly pierced a Jyamato with his longsword, only to find that the creature merely swayed and remained unharmed. He turned around and witnessed this incomprehensible scene, his voice trembling.
"Are you kidding me! How could the human body possibly do such a thing?"
Another veteran player, having barely managed to dodge an attack, had an expression of utter disbelief on his face.
"He...he's even more outrageous than that 'god' who appeared in the last round of the Desire Contest!"
Sakurai Kagekazu, who was engaged in a fierce battle, also noticed Su Chen's situation. For the first time, a look of bewilderment appeared on his serious face.
All the contestants who were fighting hard witnessed this incredible scene.
Their faces were filled with an indescribable shock, a mixture of fear and awe.
In their view, every punch and kick Su Chen made was full of extreme, cold-blooded violent aesthetics.
That wasn't a battle.
It was a one-sided, devastating artistic performance.
After just a few minutes.
While other contestants were still racking their brains and panting for breath, trying to figure out how to effectively deal with the few Jyamatos in front of them.
Su Chen has cleared out all enemies in the area he is responsible for.
He stood on the clean ground, not even the hem of his clothes was stained.
【mission completed. 】
[Transferring to the rest area...]
The cold, automated system voice once again confirmed a fact.
Su Chen's figure slowly dissipated within a pillar of light that appeared out of nowhere, disappearing from everyone's sight.
He completed the task first with an absolute, overwhelming speed that far exceeded everyone's expectations and even overturned their understanding of games.
All that remained for the survivors on the field was a distant, unreachable silhouette that evoked profound despair.
Chapter 88: BOSS Information and Special Items, the Newcomer's Arrogance? The Laughter of the Crowd
The light faded away like the tide.
The pure white in the field of vision was stripped away in an instant, replaced by a purer, more absolute white space.
The air was filled with a cold smell of disinfectant mixed with an unknown metal. The floor underfoot was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the endless, cold light strips on the ceiling.
This is the exclusive rest area prepared by the system for the winners.
A huge, lifeless white cage.
Su Chen's gaze calmly swept over every corner of the room, finding no surveillance equipment, but this did not make him lower his guard.
To him, this place was no different from a prison.
He casually walked to the deepest corner of the room, where the shadows seemed to be denser than elsewhere.
The soft sofa made no sound when he sat down, as if even the laws of physics were rewritten there.
He slowly closed his eyes.
The race that the system had just defined as "intense" was not even enough to make his heart beat in the slightest.
That wasn't a battle; it was just a one-sided cleanup.
A few minutes later, ripples began to spread through the space.
A flash of light, and a disheveled figure was roughly thrown out, crashing heavily against the wall with a muffled groan.
Immediately afterwards, a second and a third beam of light appeared in succession.
A few truly outstanding contestants, such as Kurama Nene and Sakurai Keikazu, were also successively teleported in.
Kurama Nene's pretty face was covered in sweat, her chest heaving violently, and her breathing rapid.
Sakurai Keikazu leaned against the wall, one hand supporting his knee, panting heavily. Several obvious scorch marks had appeared on his combat uniform.
Each of them looked as if they had just struggled back from the edge of hell, still carrying the scorching heat of gunpowder and dissipating energy.
When their gazes fell unanimously on the figure that had been waiting in the corner for a long time, and whose posture had not even changed, everyone's breath caught in their throat.
In awe.
An instinctive awe of absolute power washed over their heated minds like ice water.
How did this man manage to do that?
When the last contestant who passed the test was teleported in, the entire rest area finally quieted down.
At that very moment, in the very center of the rest area, the air began to distort.
A blurry figure, like static on a television screen, gradually solidified.
A guide dressed in a black bodycon dress and wearing an exquisite fox mask appeared out of thin air.
"Congratulations everyone, you have successfully passed the first round of tests."
Her voice was impeccably sweet, yet icy cold, devoid of any human emotion, like a highly precise AI-synthesized voice, each syllable accurate yet hollow.
"Next, we will announce information about the final boss of this round."
The moment she finished speaking, the pure white wall behind her rippled like water.
A huge holographic projection instantly filled everyone's field of vision.
It was a terrifying monster of unimaginable size.
Its body resembled a mobile fortress pieced together from mountains and fortresses, with countless dark cannon muzzles protruding from the gaps in its shell, gleaming with an ominous light.
Beneath the monster's feet lay the ruins of the city, as insignificant as ants.
"The final boss - Castle Jyamato".
The guide's voice sounded like she was reading out a death list.
"This BOSS possesses a special ATField energy shield, which is completely ineffective against conventional physical and energy attacks."
"To damage it, you must first completely destroy its shield."
As she spoke, she extended her right hand, which was wearing a white glove, and gently shook hands in the air.
As light and shadow converged, a strangely shaped bomb appeared out of thin air in her palm.
The bomb was hexagonal, its surface covered with complex blue energy circuits, and in the center was a miniature screen that constantly displayed a countdown.
"This is a special item prepared by DGP officials for everyone - 'Causality Shield-Breaking Bomb'."
"Only by using it can we successfully break the energy shield of Castle Jamato."
She deliberately emphasized the word "only," as if stating an inviolable ironclad rule.
"Please come forward one by one to receive your prizes."
These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
The deathly silence lasted only a second.
The next moment, everyone rushed towards the center like madmen, afraid of falling behind.
"Quick! Grab one!"
