Chapter 44 - Overlord Bravery, Horror Attribute!
The five items were swiftly taken away, and as points were rapidly consumed, a new world unfolded in Su Li's mind. Suddenly, a vivid scene materialized before him.
It depicted a young teenager, a boy blessed with extraordinary powers. The visuals continued to play, showcasing the boy's unbeatable gambling skills at such a tender age. Su Li witnessed the boy effortlessly lifting a heavy tripod when he was merely thirteen years old. The young man's determination to polish his physique day after day, even when no one could match him, was also revealed.
Next, Su Li observed the young man dressed in armor, heading fearlessly into battle as blood flowed like a river. He witnessed the young man's resolute crossing of a treacherous river, engaging in a battle where retreat was not an option. The screen unfolded to exhibit him sweeping through legions of soldiers, the prince bowing down before him in respect. The rebellion of the prince brought the entire world against him, but he stood alone, wielding a halberd and defying all odds.
Internal conflicts plagued his kingdom, his generals betrayed him one after another, and renowned figures from history employed cunning tactics against him. However, armed with only a halberd, he shattered every conspiracy in his path. Su Li observed him confronting formidable adversaries like the martial immortal Han Xin, the strategist Zhang Liang, Prime Minister Xiao He, and the pioneer of guerrilla warfare Peng Yue, along with numerous other renowned historical figures from later periods. Even with a formidable lineup of enemies, he dared not relax or show the slightest hint of carelessness. Yet, in the end… he was defeated.
The Battle of Gaixia… a desperate last stand!
One man, one halberd, fighting until exhaustion overcame him!
Even though the corpses were densely piled up, he was the sole survivor, yet no one dared to approach.
While still alive, even Liu Bang wouldn't come within a hundred paces when Xiang Yu was surrounded, left standing alone.
He was a man similar to a Demi-God, feared and revered. Fatigue finally caught up with him, and his boundless energy was depleted. Gazing at the timid Han soldiers, hesitant to advance, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in a daze.
Yes, Xiang Yu was once an illustrious leader with loyal followers at his command.
"Haha… Farewell, my fellow people of Jiangdong. I shall bid you farewell with a grand display of riches and prosperity!"
He laughed uproariously, and with his last ounces of strength, he severed his own head and cast it towards that unknown figure…
The Han soldiers rushed forward in union…
The scene faded, but Su Li knew that even after Xiang Yu's self-inflicted demise, his body, fought over by the Han soldiers, would eventually lead to boundless riches and fortune.
And the fortunate soul who snatched one of Xiang Yu's thighs revived the Hongnong Yang family and propelled the entire Han Dynasty to fame.
He faced the country's top warriors single-handedly, and even in death, he didn't comprehend the extent of the glory and wealth he had attained.
With his own strength, he confronted the heroes of the realm, experiencing victories and defeats, repeatedly turning the tide.
Indeed, from Su Li's perspective, Xiang Yu's governance and personnel management appeared disorderly and ineffective.
Livelihoods withered, internal affairs fluctuated day and night, and some of the trusted subordinates were reduced to insignificant roles.
An ordinary person would have fallen victim to the early Han Dynasty's might…
Consequently, relying on his personal might, Xiang Yu leaped and bounded throughout the early Han Dynasty.
At the Battle of Pengcheng, he even defeated nearly two-thirds of Liu Bang's main force in their initial encounter, despite being at an absolute disadvantage. He cast fear upon his adversaries.
By the scene's conclusion, Su Li had mastered the art of the Overlord's halberd technique. Whether standing or lying, he embodied his own set of rules, as if it had become second nature, ingrained in his very being.
Combined with Su Li's attributes that surpassed human limitations…
A true anomaly… Su Li shook his head in awe.
After witnessing the imagery in his mind, Su Li realized the monstrous nature of Xiang Yu.
In modern times, he would have been an unprecedented Hercules… After all, it wouldn't have made a difference if you shot him once.
But in ancient times, Xiang Yu's prowess on the battlefield was nothing short of a formidable monster, an invincible force.
Ordinary low-quality swords couldn't even penetrate his muscles.
He swung casually, with the power of a thousand pounds.
Even with two hundred pounds of armor on his body, he could still move freely.
Such individuals could not be dealt with in ancient times, and Liu Bang had already found the only solution.
He gathered a force of tens of thousands to surround him and let him fight… then waited for him to exhaust his strength.
Yes, the early Han Dynasty strategists employed various tactics, including division and psychological warfare, to eventually eliminate all of Xiang Yu's subordinates. Ultimately, the only solution left was to surround him with a large force and wait for him to exhaust his strength.
Even Liu Bang dared not appear when observing this battle in Xiang Yu's sight.
If given an organized army of thousands of people, this kind of monster could easily break out of the siege of a hundred thousand people.
If given an organized army of 10,000 people, he would dare to turn around and fight to the death.
Before the advent of weapons of mass destruction, one must admit that a character like Xiang Yu was almost impossible to overcome.
In the Battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu attacked…
Liu Bang's 560,000 troops attacked Pengcheng…
Xiang Yu was attacked from the front and back, and the remaining generals continued to attack Qi. He alone commanded 30,000 troops to return and help.
Xiang Yu's superior tactics were evident in his first battle, as Liu Bang's 560,000 troops were decisively defeated.
What? You said Liu Bang's 560,000 troops were a disorganized mob, while Xiang Yu led 30,000 elite soldiers?
Indeed, Xiang Yu faced the challenge of fighting on two fronts, with a significant disparity in forces. He was surrounded by enemies, leading a lone army deep into enemy territory, enduring long-distance marches, and facing betrayals from allies. These disadvantages would have been enough to make most renowned generals feel despair.
When personal bravery exceeds the limits that the era can handle, it becomes unparalleled in mowing down enemies.
Although Su Li's current stats were not as impressive as Xiang Yu's, he might be unmatched in mowing down enemies on the battlefield.
It was probably because Su Li's attributes of strength and physique surpassed the limits of human beings a while ago, making them anomalies in the real world.
Expand your personal attributes , Su thought.
The Overlord's Halberd technique was suitable for Su Li, likely because it encompassed the essence of Xiang Yu's lifelong battles with a physique different from ordinary individuals.
Correspondingly, the higher the attribute, the more powerful the technique would become.
The power yielded was disappointingly small when the attribute was low to a certain extent. Even with 100% effort, it could only produce around 30% of the desired result.
Currently, according to his estimation, Su Li's personal attributes were likely not far from Xiang Yu's.

In a little over a month, Su Li purchased a total of 20 attribute point gift packs, resulting in the release of 50 free attributes. On average, this equated to 2.5 attributes for each attribute point.
He followed his previous strategy of adding points to both strength and body, with no exceptions this time.
Having just utilized 28 free attributes from the attribute point spree, he now possessed the Overlord's Halberd Technique. This move capitalized on higher innate attributes and wielded greater power, which proved to be incredibly advantageous.
"I wonder what Xiang Yu's attributes are!"
