Chapter 164: Chapter 142: Having Obtained the Silver Branch, Hearing of the Phoenix Stone Chapter 164: Chapter 142: Having Obtained the Silver Branch, Hearing of the Phoenix Stone In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed.
On this day, on the outermost slope of the Transversal Mountain Range, Su Yuan walked out carrying the Dragon Armor Saber.
The originally hard and sharp blade was now covered with numerous scratches, and there were several nicks on the blade; it was heavily damaged from combat.
Su Yuan himself was also quite disheveled, his black combat uniform almost entirely dyed a dark purple and exuding a strong smell of blood.
“After so many days, I’ve finally come out.
This Transversal Mountain Range is indeed dangerous.
That Huang Xiang could stay here for over a month.
I must say, his luck is pretty good…”
Su Yuan shook his head with a bitter smile.
For these past twenty-plus days, he had been constantly on the move within the Transversal Mountain Range, hunting Star Beasts at high intensity.
Along the way, he encountered over thirty Silver Star Beasts, and the most perilous time was in a valley where he ran into an Elite Gold Middle Stage Star Beast!
That enormous, powerful presence was much stronger than the Golden Armored Sword Dragon Beast and the Red-striped Winged Divine Bird!
Just the residual waves from its Star Power attack made his heart race.
Su Yuan thought to himself that even using the White Flame Burning Body, it would be tough to handle it.
Fortunately, that Gold Star Beast couldn’t fly, and he managed to escape unscathed using Instant Movement and Elemental Magnetism Pressure.
“But after so many days, the harvest is exceptionally abundant…”
Su Yuan called up the system panel.
Seeing the changes on the panel, he couldn’t help but smile, his heart filled with joy and satisfaction!
“Su Yuan
Level: Bronze Middle Stage
Soul Card: Azure Sky Phoenix
…
Star Dust: 21100
Breathing: General Breathing Method, Progress: Seventh Star Nest No.1 Star Cave (0/10000)
Effect 1: Concealing Breath: Conceals one’s breath and Star Power Fluctuations through the Star Power Flow Cycle.
Effect 2: Overload: Greatly increases the speed of Star Power operation and eruption, reducing all skill casting time by 35%.
Effect 3: Super Perception: Enhances sensitivity to Star Power and various energies, significantly boosting perception ability and range, while also enhancing the five senses!
Effect 4: Star Power Control: Improves control over Star Power, significantly boosting micro-management and multi-tasking abilities, while increasing cultivation speed by 20%!”
Star Dust, over twenty thousand points!
With over twenty thousand points of Star Dust, he could easily elevate any Star Card he encountered to the Transformation Realm.
If there were no other uses, it would be enough for the entire Silver Stage.
Moreover, his Breathing had fully opened the sixth Star Nest and reached Skilled Level!
The Skilled Level Breathing had given additional “Super Perception” and “Star Power Control” effects.
As expected, “Super Perception” greatly enhanced his sensing abilities, whose powerful perception in actual combat needs no further explanation.
Additionally, the effect “Star Power Control” brought an extra 20% increase in cultivation speed!
It was as effective as being in close contact with the Soul-binding Divine Tree, truly an unexpected yet significant gain.
Furthermore, the overloading effect had also been enhanced, with the skill casting time reduced from 30% to 35%, a minor increase but indicative of even more potential improvements with the Breathing Method progression.
No wonder He Yanan, Yang Yifeng, and the other teachers from Demon Capital Academy highly recommended the Breathing Method.
The benefits it brought to Star Card Masters were simply extraordinary!
“Although the Breathing effect is good, its practice is very slow…”
It was just that Su Yuan had the system; otherwise, based on the progress of Zhang Tai, Lu Yingying, and others, it would take a year or two to practice the Breathing Method to Skilled Level.
And these were the top students in the elite class at Demon Capital Academy.
Ordinary academy students might not even reach the Skilled Level upon graduation!
Su Yuan looked at the (0/10000) progress of the seventh Star Nest on the panel and shook his head.
“The Star Dust required to open a Star Cave has increased tenfold to 10,000 Star Dust, meaning the seventh and eighth Star Nests at Master Level require a total of 120,000 Star Dust.
Spending another two or three months in the Transversal Mountain Range might suffice, but that’s quite a long time.
First, I’ll return to the academy to rest and hand over the Flare Silver Branch to Situ Qingyin.
Then I can buy some Second Stage materials to start crafting the blue long blade!”
This thought filled Su Yuan’s heart with some anticipation and excitement.
“According to Situ Qingyin, the five materials she suggests can all add traits.
The Flare Silver Branch can randomly generate a Fire Element Star Device skill…”
Star Device skills are skills bound to Star Devices; their quality depends on the Star Device’s grade.
Ɲονǥօ.сᴑ
And a Blue Grade Star Device would yield a skill equivalent to a Blue Skill Star Card.
Though random, the skill generated would typically be a powerful one, highly compatible with the Star Device itself, based on the materials used, the type of Star Device, and crafting techniques.
For instance, the Blue Star Artifact—Thunder Thorns Staff—possessed by Chen Jiujun has the Thunder Attribute Star Device skill: Black Thorns Light Breaking Cannon.
“Situ Qingyin mentioned she could include up to two materials…” Su Yuan looked down at the heavily battle-scarred Dragon Armor Saber in his hand.
“The Dragon Armor Saber can still last for a while.
I can wait and see if there’s any information on the remaining materials.
This means I don’t have to wander around aimlessly.
After I return, I will focus on cultivation, absorbing all the insights from this journey through the Hengduan Mountain Range.
I might break through to the Bronze High Stage sooner than expected!”
Su Yuan’s eyes shone brightly.
It wasn’t just the Flare Silver Branch and the abundant Star Dust he had gained; this trip to the Hengduan Mountain Range had also advanced his Star Power Realm.
Before entering the Transversal Mountain Range, he had been cultivating quietly at the academy for over a month.
In nearly a month of high-intensity combat in the Transversal Mountain Range, the combination of battle and cultivation not only consolidated his previous cultivation but also brought many insights and experiences.
Plus, the extra cultivation speed boost from “Star Power Control”…
Bronze High Stage might come sooner than anticipated!
Su Yuan’s hand flashed, putting away the Dragon Armor Saber, and then took out a new combat uniform from his ring to change into before heading back towards the Great Flame Country.
As he just stepped into the boundaries of the Great Flame, Su Yuan took out his phone and was surprised to see a message from Geng Qiuyi, dated four days ago.
“News of Phoenix Nirvana Stone?” Su Yuan’s eyes lit up as he read Geng Qiuyi’s message.
“Arriving early is not as good as arriving at the right time!
If it’s the Phoenix Nirvana Stone, I must get it!”
Su Yuan’s eyes showed deep thought.
He now had the Flare Silver Branch, sufficient to craft a Blue Star Device.
It would be great if he could find other materials like Meteor Star Sand, but even if he couldn’t, it wasn’t a big deal.
It would just result in slightly better attributes and one or two more attached effects from additional materials.
But if it were the Guan Fengnie Stone, it would be of utmost priority.
Because the Star Device made with the Phoenix Nirvana Stone would greatly enhance the Imperial Master’s Fire Element resistance.
It would also use absorbed Fire Energy to repair the Star Device and the Imperial Master’s damage.
He planned to seek Divine Fire in the future.
Even a masterless Divine Fire had terrifying energy.
Not only Gold but even Shining Star level experts might not easily withstand it!
All the preparations should be made as thoroughly as possible.
Su Yuan foresaw that a Star Device made with the Phoenix Nirvana Stone would be crucial for taming the Divine Fire.
So, if it were the Phoenix Nirvana Stone, he had to go there no matter what.
“Demon City, huh…”
Su Yuan looked at his phone.
After some thought, he replied to Geng Qiuyi’s message.
