The large player organizations in Japan originally had a rather grand plan, which was also aimed at soul-type items.
While most of the large player organizations in other civilization regions were still using soul-type items to attract popularity and gain benefits, several large player organizations with official backgrounds in Japan were already preparing to collect a large number of soul-type items to strengthen their strength in the real world.
However, it was a pity that they did not have the right to operate large auction houses, so they lost an effective way to collect Soul items.
In fact, from the beginning of the second large-scale system quest to the end of the Interstellar Tournament, Yang Rui had stolen a lot of Soul items in the Japanese region. The number of Soul items that they lost was the highest among all the civilizations.
Yang Rui had taken action several times in the past, and it could be said that he had restrained the other party quite a bit. Not only were there soul-type items that could affect one's strength in the real world, but there was also the control of the auction house and other commercial establishments. There was even the future daimyo Uesugi Kenshin of Echigo and the spy Takeda Nobutaka of Sōjo.
There might not be much impact in a short period of time, but as time went by, Yang Rui's trump card in the Nihon civilization area would gradually become more and more prominent. It was entirely possible for him to completely change the course of the Nihon civilization area.
This was only the situation in the core area of the Nihon civilization. As for the entire island of Shrimp Barren Land, although Yang Rui hadn't had time to complete the Tribal Struggle mission, he had already regarded it as his. With Yang Rui's current strength, taking over the entire island of Shrimp Barren Land was a piece of cake.
After taking over the Shrimp Barren Land as a springboard, Yang Rui's space in the Japanese region would be unimaginable.

"System Notification: Congratulations to player Blazing Sun for successfully breaking through the 60th floor of the Tower of Civilization in the Three Kingdoms region. You have gained 6,000 Reputation points, 6,000 gold coins, and the right to draw a Violet-Platinum item.

In the Tower of Civilization, Yang Rui had broken through the 60th floor. With the system notification, the players in the various civilizations region were once again in an uproar.
Most of the ordinary players only felt admiration and amazement, but the players who were quite strong had a different feeling. This was especially true for the large player organizations that had their eyes on Yang Rui. At this moment, they felt a sense of powerlessness.
At this stage, almost all the large player organizations in the various civilizations had sent some of their more powerful players into the Tower of Civilization. However, there was a huge gap between their performance and that of Yang Rui.
Starting from the 50th level of the Tower of Civilization. Yang Rui himself didn't feel much of an increase in difficulty. The only difference was that the monsters in the map had increased by one grade, reaching Tier 5. Although the difficulty had increased, it wasn't enough to cause any trouble for Yang Rui.
The only thing Yang Rui was cautious about was the 10 village warriors behind him. To allow them to advance to Fifth Grade, Yang Rui would have to protect them all the way to the fifty-sixth floor of the Tower of Civilization. Only then would the Special Soldier Upgrade Skill Books appear.
As such, Yang Rui spent most of his energy protecting the ten village warriors and creating opportunities for them to level up.
By the time Yang Rui led the village warriors all the way to the fifty-sixth floor of the Tower of Civilization, he finally obtained the corresponding Special Soldier Upgrade Skill Books. He successfully upgraded all the village warriors to Fifth Grade.
With the village warriors' survivability improved, Yang Rui was even more relaxed. From the fifty-sixth floor to the fifty-ninth floor of the Tower of Civilization, their progress was no slower than the previous floors. The only problem was the advanced city on the sixty-sixth floor of the Tower of Civilization. It was still quite difficult to attack it head-on.
Moreover, they had to start from the fifty-first floor of the Tower of Civilization. The items Yang Rui had obtained were still small catapults and ladders. Although he had obtained a few more of those, their offensive power was clearly insufficient.
If he only relied on the village warriors to control five small catapults to attack an advanced city, he would not be able to achieve much, even if he ran out of time. After all, the defenses of an advanced city were much higher than the intermediate cities on the fiftieth floor.
In particular, the parapet walls were much taller. The small catapults were much less of a threat to the city guards. Even if they could achieve some results with their attacks, the guards on the walls would be able to mobilize reinforcements from elsewhere. It would not be effective in a short period of time.
There might not be any results even if he continued to waste time. More importantly, there was a time limit for each floor. Under such circumstances, Yang Rui decisively used one of the two new items he had obtained – the Faction Change Token Soul.
The Faction Change Token Soul was effective against Fifth Grade Special Soldiers. Of course, its effectiveness would not be discounted. As soon as this weapon was used, all the soldiers within a 1000m * 1000m * 1000m range on Yang Rui's side immediately switched camps. Yang Rui was able to enter the city smoothly and wipe out all the remaining soldiers in the city in a very short time.
In order to avoid affecting the loot drops, especially the collection of Civilization Marks, Yang Rui immediately canceled the effects of the Faction Change Token Soul and killed all the remaining soldiers. There was no more suspense for the 60th floor of the Tower of Civilization.

"System Notification: Congratulations to player Lie Yang. You have successfully broken through the 70th floor of the Tower of Civilization in the Three Kingdoms Region. You have obtained 7,000 Reputation Points, 7,000 gold coins, and the right to draw two Violet-Gold items.

After less than half a day, the system notification of Yang Rui breaking through the 70th floor of the Tower of Civilization appeared once again!
This time, it wasn't just the large player organizations that were surprised. Even the average player who paid a little attention was similarly shocked. This was because the time Yang Rui took to break through from the 61st stage to the 70th stage didn't increase, but decreased instead. It was actually much shorter than the previous ten stages. It was no wonder that people were shocked.
Yang Rui had only used his other weapon – the Forced Summoning Token Soul – to forcefully summon a hundred soldiers from one of the city gates. They then opened the gates for Yang Rui during the chaos and allowed him to enter the city.
Even though the 70th floor of the Tower of Civilization was filled with Sixth Grade soldiers, they were still not enough to stop Yang Rui from killing monsters. The moment Yang Rui stepped into the city, it was only a matter of time.
After breaking through the 70th floor of the Tower of Civilization, Yang Rui entered the Virtual Replenishment Plane to rest and recuperate. At the same time, he checked his loot from the past few dozen floors.
Of the three Violet-Gold soul-type items that Yang Rui had obtained in the past two rounds, two of them had been Masterpieces that increased Intelligence. They were not suitable for Yang Rui to replace at the moment.
