Chapter44:YunXi’sOutbreak
"Heehee,thingsbecameinteresting."StoneSoldierNumberTwocarriedhisbigsword,carelesslywalkingtowardYunXi.
ComparedtoYunXi,whowascoveredinbumpsandbruiseswhileholdingaswordinonehandandashieldintheother,StoneSoldierNumberTwowasinamuchbetterstate.
MostofthetimeYunXiwaskilledbythethreestonesoldiers.TheywerethebiggestfactorthatcausedYunXi’sdeaths.
Inregardstotheboysandgirlsofnoblefamilieswhowereatthe1strankorjustenteredthe2ndrankinthecommonarmy,theyweresuperelites.EveryoneofthemwasabletothreatenYunXi’slifealone.
Inprinciple,YunXihadHuaHuo’sseed.Heshouldn’tbedriventothelastditchbythem.
Ifitwereafairbattle,thewinningpercentageofYunXiagainstanyofthemwouldbemorethan90%.
Unfortunately,fairnesswasn’tathingthatexistedintheworld.YunXialreadyknewitwhenhefacedthestartrialsthefirsttime.
Ifitwasabouttalentorcombatintuition,afterobtainingHuaHuo’sseed,healsoobtainedahugeadvantage.
However,theyhadagreateradvantagethanhim.
Thebiggestreasonthatcausedhisdeatheverytime:Equipment.
Yes.ThereasonwhyYunXiwaskilledbythethreepeoplewasbecausetheirequipmentwaswaybetterthanhis.
StoneSoldierNumberOnehadapairofwhirlingswords.StoneSoldierNumberTwohadabigsword.StoneSoldierNumberThreehadaSnakeBoneSoftSword.Theywereallweaponsofthebestquality,whichweremadebyusingspecialmethods,andevenhadafewspecialabilities.

Unfortunately,attheMortalrank,weaponsandequipmentsweremoreimportantthanYunXi’simagination.
ThiswastheimpassablewidegapamongordinarypeopleandChildes.Itwasthelargestfactorthatcouldn’tbesurpassedbytalent.
AttheMortalrank,childrenofnoblefamilieshadcraftsmenspeciallymakingweaponsforthem,plustheycouldlearntheirfamilies’swordskills.Comparedtocommonswordsmenwhowereatthesamerankasthem,theyhadoverwhelmingadvantages.
YunXididn’tknowwherethethreetop-levelstonesoldierswerefromandwhotheywere,butafterexperiencingbattlesagainandagain,hehadclearlytouchedthelimitthatcommonswordsmencouldreach.
Weaponswerereallyimportant.
Thefirsttime,YunXibegantothinkmoreseriouslyaboutthispoint,whatcommonswordsmenlackedmost...
"Youcan’tkillthedragonwithoutgoodweaponsandequipment".ThiswasaproverbfromtheWesternGod’sDomain.Itimplicitlytoldyoungboyswhowantedtobecomestrong,thattheyshouldn’tignoretheimportanceofequipment-eveniftheyweresupergeniuses.
Goodequipmentcouldplayanextremelyimportantroleinbattle.ThoseChildeswhohadreceivedthebesteducationknewitclearerthananyone.
Inthatcase,eventhoughYunXihadkilledtwenty-sevenstonesoldiers,intheeyesofthethreetop-levelstonesoldiers,hewasstilljustso-so.
"Pa!"YunXithrewawayhisshield,thoughithadprotectedhimcountlesstimesduringthebattleandheldhisswordwithonehand.
