Chapter 148: Chapter 128 Frequent Appearances of Three-Leaf Chapter 148: Chapter 128 Frequent Appearances of Three-Leaf Su Yuan’s vision blurred, and he had already entered the Ten Thousand Demon Sleeping Ground.
A wild and primitive aura hit him in the face, with dense shrubs and towering trees all around.
Many of the plants were ones Su Yuan had never seen in books before.
Looking up at the sky, there was the sun in the east and the moon in the west, one sun and one moon hanging high, which was quite peculiar.
“The whole secret realm should basically retain the original landscape from when the Soul Ascension Tree was still here.”
Su Yuan looked around; Shang Baiyu and the others were already gone.
To save time spent in the Ten Thousand Demon Sleeping Ground, this secret realm had long been transformed by the experts of South Pole City into a random teleportation secret realm.
This allowed all students who entered to disperse quickly, reducing the secret realm’s energy consumption.
“Use spiritual power to search for essences…”
Su Yuan rubbed the Hell Chanting Ring on his hand.
With a thought, his spiritual power slowly spread out around him…
As his spiritual power extended, flying energy bodies appeared one by one within his perception.
Rock Lizard Beast, Iron-clawed Scorpion, Ghost-faced Horse, Sun and Moon Ladybug…
In just a short moment, he had already scanned nearly twenty essences marked with the Rebirth Leaf.
However, most of them were One-leaf Essences.
Only a few, such as the Ghost-faced Horse and Sun and Moon Ladybug, were Two-leaf qualities.
Additionally, even though these Star Beast Essences couldn’t fly, they could float freely in the low air due to their essence bodies.
“Need to hurry up.”
Su Yuan tapped his foot lightly, maintaining his spiritual power output while casually searching ahead.
Regarding the experience and skills of searching for essences, Su Yuan had specially asked Geng Qiuyi.
However, according to Geng Qiuyi and others, there was no pattern to the distribution of essences in the Sleeping Ground.
They could be found everywhere, and there were no suggestions to offer.
And since the Sleeping Ground was vast, it was clearly impossible to thoroughly search the place.
So Su Yuan simply followed his instincts and randomly chose a direction.
“One-leaf essence, one leaf, two leaves, one leaf…”
Ten minutes passed in a blink, and Su Yuan continuously opened his spiritual power to search.
At this moment, a fairly strong essence aura suddenly appeared in his spiritual perception in the front-left direction.
Su Yuan felt a hint of excitement and quickly concentrated his spirit to investigate.
He saw the essence of a Flame Sand Beast with an orange flame coming out of its tail, floating silently in the low air.
On its head were three Rebirth Leaf markings.
“Three-leaf essence!”
Su Yuan took a few steps toward the Flame Sand Beast.
Sensing Su Yuan approaching, it also raised its head to look at him, its fiery red eyes meeting his gaze.
Su Yuan vaguely had a premonition that as long as he communicated with it, this Flame Sand Beast would likely agree to manifest.
But Su Yuan just sensed it slightly and then flew past the Flame Sand Beast, continuing forward.
“Although it’s a Three-leaf essence, the Flame Sand Beast is relatively ordinary among the Master Star Beasts.
And it’s a Fire-Earth dual element, perfect for Zhang Tai, but not particularly suitable for me.”
Su Yuan pondered while flying.
For Su Yuan at the moment, even a pure Fire Element Three-leaf Star Beast might not meet his expectations.
The blue skills Su Yuan currently possessed, whether Hellfire Summon or Hellfire, could be considered T1 level.
How could the last enhancement skill fall short?
The best would be a Four-leaf essence, allowing him to not consider enhancement skills until at least the Gold Level.
Otherwise, it would actually be better to leave the secret realm and find one himself.
No matter how rare enhancement skills are, could they be rarer than space-related skills?
Additionally, only ten minutes had passed.
With the current consumption rate, he estimated he could stay in the secret realm for another half hour or so.
Time gradually passed.
Around the twenty-minute mark, Su Yuan encountered two more types of Three-leaf essences.
One was the essence of the Water Element Star Beast “Black Dark Ghost Python,” and the other was the essence of the Earth Attribute humanoid Star Beast “Hundred-Shape Shatuo.”
The Black Dark Ghost Python was quite common among Master Star Beasts.
But the Hundred-Shape Shatuo was a considerably rare type of Star Beast.
It could freely change its form, not only having considerable defensive capability but also having significantly more agility and versatility compared to typical Earth Element Star Beasts!
Overall, the Hundred-Shape Shatuo had high potential.
The Star Card formed from its essence most likely also had something to do with the transformation of sand.
Although Su Yuan didn’t choose these two essences, he discovered an issue.
“Apparently…
Ɲ0νǥ0.сο
Three-leaf essences aren’t that rare.” Su Yuan pondered, “Could it be that I just have good luck?”
It had only been about twenty minutes, and he had already come across three types of Three-leaf essences.
At this rate, nearly everyone would be able to obtain a Three-leaf essence…
Good luck was welcome.
Since he couldn’t figure it out for now, he didn’t dwell on it…
Outside the secret realm, students from various academies occasionally glanced at the entrance of the secret realm.
“It’s almost thirty minutes, and no one from Demon Capital Academy has come out of the secret realm yet!”
“Yes, the previous groups mostly had students coming out around the twenty-minute mark.
Even if Demon Capital Academy students are stronger, there should be someone coming out by now…
Oh?
Here they come!”
The faculties and students from various academies turned to look at the entrance of the secret realm.
The first student to come out was a somewhat chubby blond boy named Ren Le, ranked 41st in Demon Capital Academy’s entrance rankings.
Seeing their student come out, He Yanan also looked up closely.
Ren Le walked to the barrier, with a thick-boned snake wriggling atop his head.
“Two-leaf essence, Iron Bone Snake,” announced the bespectacled teacher.
Ren Le walked back, smiling wryly, “Teacher Xiao He.”
He Yanan said, “Don’t be discouraged.
Two-leaf essence is good enough.
It’s sufficient for Bronze and Silver Second Stage.
When you reach Silver or even Gold Level, go find a blue enhancement Star Card.”
“Don’t worry, Teacher Xiao He, I understand.”
Although a little disappointed, Ren Le had seen the previous results and knew it was a bit of a stretch to capture a Three-leaf essence.
He quickly calmed down.
He Yanan nodded and continued to wait by the entrance.
After Ren Le came out, more students from Demon Capital followed:
“Two-leaf essence, Sand Eating Rat.”
“Two-leaf essence, Mountain Crossing Mastiff.”
…
“Three-leaf essence, Dancing Cat Demon!”
“It’s here, the first Three-leaf essence from Demon Capital Academy!”
Everyone looked over; even He Yanan’s eyes lit up with some surprise.
The first student to obtain a Three-leaf essence from Demon Capital Academy, standing at the barrier, was none other than He Huanyan, who had been beaten into the ground by Su Yuan during the preliminary challenge.
He Huanyan looked slightly fatigued, but her eyes were full of joy and relief.
Just when she could barely hold on a few more minutes, the essence of the Dancing Cat Demon came to her by itself.
After a brief skirmish, she successfully captured it.
It seemed…
the essence was quite cooperative?
He Huanyan walked out of the barrier and returned to the Demon Capital Academy team.
“Amazing, He Huanyan!”
“You got a Three-leaf essence.
We don’t stand a chance against you now!”
“Indeed…”
Ranked 44th at entry, He Huanyan’s battle talent was strong.
Coupled with her mastery of the flying skill Wind Wings, she was one of the stronger students outside the elite class.
Now that she had obtained a Three-leaf essence, even some elite class students might not be her match.
He Yanan also showed approving and slightly surprised eyes.
It was somewhat unexpected for He Huanyan to get a Three-leaf essence.
Due to a friend from South Pole Academy, He Yanan knew more about the Sleeping Ground.
Besides spiritual power and luck, another crucial factor played a role.
The area was so vast.
How easy was it to search for essences themselves?
In fact, every student entering the Sleeping Ground could be sensed like a light bulb by the Rebirth Essences within.
Instead of students seeking essences, it was more like the Rebirth Essences were choosing students, evaluating who could be their Imperial Master.
The primary criteria for selecting a student were potential and compatibility, which were reflected in the Soul Card!
Rebirth Essences had little perception of the physical body but were exceptionally sensitive to Soul Cards born from the soul, making them better able to discern the quality of a student’s Soul Card!
This fact was unknown even to Geng Qiuyi.
For this reason, He Yanan and South Pole Academy teachers didn’t give excessive instructions before entering the secret realm.
They only reminded students not to aim too high to the point where they would get nothing.
If an essence was attracted to you, it would approach you naturally.
If an essence was not a good match, it would leave before you even reached it.
The higher the essence’s quality, the higher its spirituality!
Hence, since He Huanyan’s top-grade Soul Card of the green grade could attract a Three-leaf essence, it indeed came as quite a surprise.
It seemed her high compatibility with the Dancing Cat Demon made it seek her out.
Following He Huanyan, more Level Three essences were gradually brought out by Demon Capital Academy students.
Zhou Weimin, Du Tao, Lu Yingying, Mu Qingyu…
One after another, all obtained Three-leaf essences!
At this moment, Zhang Tai also came out.
A beast with a goat head, wolf claws, and covered in red scales, its entire body seemingly forged from solid black rock, leaped out from above him, looking majestic and glaring fiercely around.
“Three-leaf essence, Furious Flame Stone Qilin!”
Zhang Tai grinned and quickly returned to the Demon Capital team.
“Not bad, Zhang Tai!” Du Tao laughed, “You found a Fire-Earth Three-leaf essence, and a Qilin subspecies with some Qilin blood!”
Similar to Jiao Long, although the Stone Qilin wasn’t a high-level Qilin race, it was still one of the Qilin subspecies, generally stronger than ordinary races.
“Ha ha ha!” Zhang Tai was also very satisfied, “Yes, better than I expected.
This card can probably be used until Gold Level!”
Then Zhang Tai asked, “How many of us are still inside?”
Mu Qingyu replied, “Five left: Su Yuan, Xia Yue, Xiang Dingqian, Shang Baiyu, and Luo Bingtong.”
“Good!
Let’s see how many Four-leaf essences they can get!”
Everyone watched the entrance to the secret realm with concern.
Even He Yanan’s eyes held a glimmer of hope.
According to the class information He Yanan had, the remaining five all possessed Soul Cards with talents of at least 400 points.
They each stood a good chance of acquiring a Four-leaf essence!
Especially Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong, with Soul Card scores above 440…
Even if the attributes didn’t match, they would likely attract more than one Four-leaf essence!
