Chapter 215: Chapter 179: Enhance Skill!
Early May, late spring, the air gradually filled with a hint of heat.
After breaking through to the Silver Stage in the Demon City Holy Spring, Su Yuan spent a week cultivating in the academy to consolidate his newly achieved Silver Stage cultivation.
Then he headed back to the Transversal Mountain Range to continue gathering Star Dust.
Before the exchange competition, time was tight.
Su Yuan barely managed to gather the required Star Dust to extract “Phase Transfer” and break into the Seven and Eight-star Nests.
Now, not only did the newly embedded Phase Transfer and Void Splitting Monument Hand require Star Dust, but the next four skill slots would also need a lot of Star Dust.
According to the calculation that one Blue Skill requires 6200 points to reach the Transformation Realm, six skills would need nearly 40,000 points.
So, Su Yuan headed to the Transversal Mountain Range again, preparing to gather enough Star Dust for all six Blue Skills at once.
Now that Su Yuan had broken through to the Silver Stage, his strength had surged.
Both the summoned Hellfire and the Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves had directly advanced to the Silver High Stage, and the number of Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves had increased to 8!
One Hellfire leading four Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves formed two teams.
Su Yuan himself led one, spreading out in three directions, advancing parallelly, and “sweeping” the Transversal Mountain Range.
He could collect more than four thousand Star Dust points daily!
This speed was already the limit.
It wasn’t that Su Yuan lacked strength, but the density and quality of Star Beasts in the Transversal Mountain Range determined it.
To increase the speed further, he would have to go to the true Ancient Forbidden Zone.
During this period, if powerful Gold Level Star Beasts appeared, Su Yuan’s super perception could detect and evade them in advance.
Whether he could win or not was another matter.
The cost-effectiveness of killing Gold Level Star Beasts was quite low; Su Yuan mainly focused on harvesting Star Dust.
Thus, day by day, Su Yuan accumulated Star Dust at a rapid pace of over four thousand points per day.
Even though the Transversal Mountain Range had countless Star Beasts, under Su Yuan’s sweep, they were outstripped.
The entire Transversal Mountain Range was visibly sparse in Star Beasts from south to north, shallow to deep.
On this particular day, in a wide forest area deep within the Transversal Mountain Range.
A Black-striped Lightning Leopard, which was a Silver High Stage Master, led dozens of Silver Elite Thunder Pattern Leopards in a high-speed hunt of a group of forest deer.
These forest deer were also at the Silver Stage, but being ordinary Star Beasts, their combat power naturally couldn’t compare to the Elite Star Beast Thunder Pattern Leopards.
At this moment, two Thunder Pattern Leopards on the right wing glanced at each other.
Electric light surged on their bodies, forming a purple lightning chain between them.
The two Thunder Pattern Leopards abruptly accelerated.
One left, one right, they surrounded a few forest deer ahead like catching fish.
“Yoo Yoo!”
Several forest deer cried out urgently as they saw they were about to be caught.
At this critical moment, a silver giant hand suddenly extended from the void, slapping the Thunder Pattern Leopard on the right.
The silver giant hand appeared very abruptly; the Thunder Pattern Leopard, moving extremely fast, couldn’t react before being slapped!
A domineering spatial ripple spread out.
The Thunder Pattern Leopard’s body shuddered, and dense cracks appeared all over its body.
“Bang!”
In an instant, this Silver Middle Stage Thunder Pattern Leopard had no resistance, shattered on the spot, turning into countless pieces of flesh and blood that scattered on the ground and shrubs.
The other Thunder Pattern Leopard on the left had already run over twenty meters.
ονǤօ.ƈο
When it found its companion gone and the purple lightning chain broken, it immediately turned around.
However, it only saw the splattered blood and a silver giant hand coming straight at it!
“Roar!!”
The Thunder Pattern Leopard let out a high-pitched roar of anger, electric light flowing over its body.
It was about to use the Thunder Step to swiftly dart to the side like lightning.
But at this moment, the surrounding space seemed locked.
The Thunder Pattern Leopard felt like it was trapped in a cage, unable to move, having to face the incoming silver giant hand.
“Poof!”
The next moment, the silver giant hand caught up and violently crushed the Thunder Pattern Leopard!
After this, the silver giant hand shimmered and vanished into the void.
Then, a black-robed, handsome young man appeared on the scene.
“The Void Splitting Monument Hand at Transformation Realm is indeed handy…”
The young man sighed while searching through the remains of the two Thunder Pattern Leopards, extracting and decomposing their Star Cores into Star Dust.
The movements were smooth and practiced, indicating he had repeated this process countless times.
This young man was obviously Su Yuan, who was hunting Star Dust in the Transversal Mountain Range.
By now, it had been more than ten days since Su Yuan entered the Transversal Mountain Range.
During this period, Su Yuan had collected over fifty thousand Star Dust points!
About a week ago, Su Yuan had already upgraded both Phase Transfer and Void Splitting Monument Hand to the Transformation Realm!
The Void Splitting Monument Hand at Transformation Realm had acquired the “Prison” trait.
Once the Void Splitting Monument Hand approached, the surrounding space would momentarily lock, preventing movement, forcing a head-on confrontation.
Besides, the Void Splitting Monument Hand at Transformation Realm had nearly half more power.
No Silver Stage Star Beast could withstand a single slap.
If one slap wasn’t enough, then two slaps!
Even Silver High Stage Master Star Beasts would be smashed into countless pieces under the Void Splitting Monument Hand.
There was no intricate technique involved, just sheer simplicity and brutality!
As for Phase Transfer, it also received significant enhancement after reaching the Transformation Realm.
The duration was greatly extended, and the interval between uses was shortened to 3 seconds.
That meant every 3 seconds, Su Yuan could use a nearly invincible evasion move.
Additionally, the Phase Transfer at Transformation Realm included an extraordinarily powerful “Local Transfer” trait, which could transfer only the body parts under attack to a sub-dimension to avoid harm.
During Local Transfer, basic bodily movements were possible (attacking and using skills were not), extending the duration to 5 minutes, without affecting the skill interval!
This meant that small-scale attacks such as sword strikes and gunshots could hardly cause Su Yuan any harm!
At this moment, Su Yuan had just decomposed the Star Core when the surrounding vegetation rustled, and more Silver Stage Thunder Pattern Leopards appeared around him.
The roars of the earlier Thunder Pattern Leopards had attracted nearby companions.
In a brief moment, a total of twelve Thunder Pattern Leopards, led by the evolved Black-striped Lightning Leopard Master, surrounded Su Yuan.
“Roar!”
After a quick assessment, the leading Black-striped Lightning Leopard let out a roar.
The Thunder Pattern Leopards simultaneously activated the Thunder Step, rushing towards Su Yuan in the center!
“Saves me the trouble of chasing each one down.”
Su Yuan raised his hand, and Void Splitting Monument Hand appeared out of nowhere, slapping at the two incoming Thunder Pattern Leopards.
The two Thunder Pattern Leopards tried to dodge, but as before, their actions stalled under the “Prison” trait of the Void Splitting Monument Hand.
They couldn’t move an inch sideways.
The Void Giant Hand slapped down, instantly turning the two Thunder Pattern Leopards into two blood rains!
Su Yuan waved his hand, and the Void Giant Hand retreated into the void, reappearing before grasping and crushing another Thunder Pattern Leopard approaching from the left…
One after another, every time the Void Splitting Monument Hand moved, it crushed at least one Thunder Pattern Leopard.
In no time, seven Thunder Pattern Leopards were violently killed!
Moments ago, the overwhelmingly aggressive Thunder Pattern Leopards had fragmented into a retreating, terrified group.
If it weren’t for the presence of their leader, the Black-striped Lightning Leopard, they would have fled long ago.
The Black-striped Lightning Leopard hadn’t expected such a quick change in the situation!
Wasn’t the human in front also at the Silver Stage?
How could his Thunder Pattern Leopards be defeated like chicks without a fight!
As the situation quickly turned, the Black-striped Lightning Leopard roared in anger and lunged towards Su Yuan.
Su Yuan remained calm, raised his hand, and the Void Splitting Monument Hand met the attack.
The Black-striped Lightning Leopard, aware of the silver giant hand’s power, didn’t dare to be careless.
With a low growl, deep purple lightning surged from its body.
Its strength surged, and with purple lightning entangling its sharp right claw, it used the blue skill Purgatory Electric Claw!
“Boom!”
With a muffled sound, the silver giant hand and the purple electric claw collided.
The Black-striped Lightning Leopard’s eyes widened, body quivering.
At the moment of impact, the Black-striped Lightning Leopard realized it wasn’t about the silver giant hand’s strength but the forceful spatial shock and tearing power it contained!
Instantly, a large blood mist exploded from the Black-striped Lightning Leopard’s body.
It was sent flying over ten meters away, turning into a “Blood Leopard” in seconds.
The Black-striped Lightning Leopard was horrified, feeling like its entire body was about to split apart.
Only its powerful constitution prevented it from exploding on the spot!
Struggling to stand, the Black-striped Lightning Leopard no longer dared to have any thoughts and ran away.
However, the silver light of the Void Splitting Monument Hand shimmered, disappearing into the void.
Moments later, it reappeared above the Black-striped Lightning Leopard’s head, slapping down!
The ground trembled, the spatial fluctuations halted for a moment.
When the Void Giant Hand lifted, the Black-striped Lightning Leopard had turned into a mushy mess of meat.
On the other side, Su Yuan wielded the Phoenix Perch Saber, beheading the last Thunder Pattern Leopard attempting to escape…
Keeping the Black-striped Lightning Leopard Master Star Core, Su Yuan extracted and decomposed the remaining Star Cores into Star Dust.
“System!”
Su Yuan called the system, showing the Star Dust count, now at “Star Dust: 42575”.
Looking at the over forty thousand Star Dust points, Su Yuan nodded.
This was what remained after enhancing Phase Transfer and Void Splitting Monument Hand.
“With this much Star Dust, it’s more than enough for the Silver Stage.
Time to head back.”
Just for skill enhancements and extracting Star Cards, over forty thousand Star Dust was more than enough.
However, for cultivating to open Star Caves, this amount of Star Dust was just a drop in the bucket.
For the Ninth and Tenth Star Nests, one Star Cave alone required 100,000 Star Dust, meaning two Star Nests needed 120,000 Star Dust.
At the current speed, without any unexpected events, it would take nearly ten months of non-stop gathering!
Now, at the stage of rapid growth, this time was too long.
Upon reaching the Gold Level, with sufficient strength, he could consider entering the Ancient Forbidden Zone for gathering Star Dust, believing it would be much more efficient.
Resolutely, Su Yuan recalled the summoning troops spread across the flanks and began his journey back towards Great Flame…
