Silence!
The class-holders were rendered utterly speechless.
Swallowing a Great Dao True Beast whole in a single bite—this was too perverse, too grotesque.
Right then, Tunshen's body completely reverted to its normal shape, except for its belly, which bulged high and taut. Tensing every muscle, it opened the mouth on its back and squeezed with all its might. The swollen belly shrank rapidly, and the maw on its back spewed out a gust of purplish-black vapor.
To ordinary eyes, this looked like gas quickly dissipating into the air. But class-holders possessing certain ocular passives could see far more clearly.
What Tunshen spewed was not gas at all, but countless minuscule, purplish-black particles. Moving with astonishing speed, they dispersed across thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye, blending into the atmosphere as particulate impurities.
After "digesting" the Great Dao True Beast's torso, it picked up the severed head, swallowed it in one gulp, and then devoured the hindquarters as well.
With this Great Dao True Beast dealt with, Yu Xian waved his hand from midair. Tunshen returned to the Chaotic Space, and the black dragon continued hunting for more Great Dao True Beasts.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, a luminous screen materialized before the eyes of every class-holder.

......
At this moment, class-holders across the Zhen Realm all saw the top ten.
Countless people flooded into the Class-Holder Info Exchange board to discuss it. While some of the top ten were well-known powerhouses, others were figures who had previously been complete unknowns and had suddenly burst into prominence.
[Morabi: No surprise Gong Yinhu made the list—after all, he's a Level 230 heavyweight. But who the hell is Andrew? Never even heard of him.]
[White Rose: That just shows your ignorance. Andrew Bourbon is an ascetic cultivator from the Zhen Continent. Word has it he's practiced asceticism for ten thousand years. He's quite famous on our side.]
[Srilan: I recognize the top seven, but where did this eighth-place big shot pop out from? Yu Xian—has anyone heard of him?]
[Long Fei: Might not be a veteran big shot; could be a powerhouse newcomer. After all, the difficulty of the Great Dao True Beasts everyone has to deal with is scaled equally. A Level 230 has to face a Level 230 Great Dao True Beast, and a Level 1 has a Level 1 Great Dao True Beast to deal with.]
[Ghost Marquis: Hilarious. Why don't you try fighting a Great Dao True Beast at Level 1 and show us? If you can kill even one, so what if I call you daddy?]
[Black Azure Emperor: I'll raise the stakes. Whoever can kill a Level 1 Great Dao True Beast at Level 1, I'll even call them granddaddy.]
[Bei Mizi: Level 1s only have a single skill! Sure, the Great Dao True Beast only has one skill too, but its attributes are on par with Level 20! Fight what? Anyone who goes just dies.]
[Yu Xian: You guys have this much free time? Don't you have Great Dao True Beasts to hunt?]
[Srilan: Holy crap, the big boss himself! Master, teach us your ways!]
[Long Fei: Guide, please! +1]
[Ghost Marquis: Guide, please! +1]
[Yu Xian: Combo breaker! No guide—just go in and brawl. Secret hint: the top ten rewards are insanely generous. Heh heh!]
[Srilan: Big boss, spill the details! What did you get?]
[Yu Xian: I just started a stream. If you want to know, come watch. Gotta go!]
After driving a huge wave of traffic to his stream, Yu Xian closed the Class-Holder Info Exchange board, a satisfied smirk spreading across his face.
In the Zhen Realm, fame carried considerable utility. If Yu Xian wanted to grow the Sparkle Legion into a true power, staying obscure was simply out of the question. Better to make a name early. Besides, he already possessed formidable self-preservation capabilities. Unless a class-holder above Level 150 had nothing better to do than seek him out for trouble, it was anyone's guess who would be causing trouble for whom.
In Yu Xian's livestream room, numerous class-holders flooded in from the link.
[Srilan: I'm here, boss! Hurry and show us what good stuff you got—broaden our horizons!]
[Meiyu: I'm just a country bumpkin, let me have a peek!]
[Jack Mikey: Here, here! Came to learn something new.]
Seeing over ten thousand people surge into the stream in an instant, Yu Xian smiled and said, "The top ten rewards have already been distributed. Since I took eighth place, my reward was a massive amount of EXP, plus an exclusive piece of equipment. Feast your eyes."
As he spoke, a bracelet manifested in his hand, and he displayed its attributes.
[Strange Weapon]
[Bound: Yu Xian]
[Durability: Infinite]
[Special Effects:]
[Heart Sword: Any substance can be used as a weapon, granting Sharpness +100,000.]
[Pierce All Things: When executing a thrust, Piercing Effect +100,000.]
[Crushing Heavy Strike: When using heavy weapons, Armor Break +100,000.]
[Remark: Use all things as weapons!]
Every class-holder in the livestream who saw the attributes gulped.
Literal drool!
If the equipment hadn't already been bound, plenty of people would have likely tracked down Yu Xian prepared to risk their lives in a desperate bid to snatch the weapon.
[Srilan: Envying you under my real name! To this day, my weapon still doesn't have a single special effect, and the stats it adds are a joke.]
[Jack Mikey: This game actually has equipment? I've been fighting monsters with my bare fists the whole time!]
[Ye Guian: This game actually has equipment? +1]
[Old Six Tian: This game actually has equipment? +2]
......
Seeing the swarm of people stacking replies, Yu Xian couldn't help but chuckle.
Judging from the auction house, genuinely good gear was indeed rare, locked tight in the hands of the major factions. For ordinary class-holders, getting their hands on truly top-tier weapons and equipment was practically impossible.
If Yu Xian hadn't slain several Boss monsters himself, his situation likely wouldn't be much different from theirs.
"Big Bro, there's a Great Dao True Beast over there!" Little Nora called out, her sharp eyes spotting one in the distance.
Yu Xian promptly steered the black dragon in the beast's direction. Only then did the class-holders in the livestream realize that they were the only ones slacking off—Yu Xian was still grinding away at full throttle, tryharding while live on camera.
[Chen Jiasheng: Damn, turns out he's a grind god! Forget watching, I'm heading out to grind too.]
[Su Yi: Don't run off! Isn't it nice to just lie flat together?]
Messages refreshed continuously in the livestream chat as the viewers chattered animatedly.
As they were talking, the screen suddenly went black for twenty seconds before returning to normal.
"All done. Another Great Dao True Beast handled. Wonder if I've got a shot at first place this time," Yu Xian said with a beaming smile.
At that moment, the class-holders in the stream fell dead silent. A Great Dao True Beast downed in twenty seconds? What kind of demonic speed was that?! Those class-holders scouting for intelligence immediately jotted down every detail they could about Yu Xian.
Evidently, after this event, Yu Xian might not become universally known, but he would definitely ensure that the majority of class-holders in the Zhen Realm remembered his name.
In the future, when he issued a rallying cry, surely plenty of class-holders would be willing to join his Sparkle Legion.
No, that wasn't right.
By then, it wouldn't be the Sparkle Legion—it would be the Sparkle Empire.
