Chapter 279: Chapter 228: Adding Two More Cards!_2
Hou Wu pointed at the portal: “This is it. Just go straight through.”
Su Yuan nodded slightly. After a brief examination, he entered directly…
…
The air had a faint salty taste. Su Yuan stabilized himself and observed his surroundings.
He found himself in a massive open-air square, surrounded by various Western-style buildings that were completely different from those of the Great Flame.
The surrounding air had a faint blue hue, filled with rich water vapor.
This vapor provided strong buoyancy. Even ordinary people could jump three or four meters high with its aid, let alone Star Card Masters.
Perhaps for this reason, the buildings in these ruins were extremely three-dimensional. Many were designed with larger bases and smaller tops, appearing somewhat illogical.
A thought suddenly occurred to Su Yuan: “Could it be that this was once an underwater city?”
The more Su Yuan thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
However, he didn’t dwell too much on it, as not far away, two Water Element Elves were wandering around the square.
[Water Element Elf]
[Grade: Elite]
[Level: Silver Early Stage]
[Introduction: Water Element Energy Body born in high concentration water element environments, skilled in various water element skills]
Water Element Elves were fairly common Elite Star Beasts with various forms and different skills. Their notable feature was their numerous evolution branches, allowing them to evolve into dozens of Master Grade Water Element Star Beasts.
Besides Water Element Elves, there were similar energy bodies for Fire Element Elves, Wind Element Elves, and so forth.
At this moment, the two Water Element Elves noticed Su Yuan, who had suddenly appeared in the ruins.
A heretic intruded into the Divine City. The two Water Element Elves immediately launched an attack, clasping their hands together to each summon a swiftly rotating water spear that shot towards Su Yuan.
The two spears passed through Su Yuan in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
The two Water Element Elves were stunned. Su Yuan, however, stepped forward and, with his star power enveloping his fists, casually shattered the two Water Element Elves.
After their death, the Water Element Elves turned into two pure water element masses that quickly dispersed. On the ground, they left behind two Star Cores.
Su Yuan casually picked up the two Star Cores but did not move immediately. Instead, he took out two azure Star Cards from his ring.
These were the recently acquired [Broken Space] and [Teleportation]!
“Two Space Star Cards!”
A trace of excitement flashed in Su Yuan’s eyes as he immediately used his star power to communicate with the two Star Cards.
A hint of hazy blue light glowed from the two Star Cards before they disappeared from his hand, entering Su Yuan’s Star Power Vortex.
There, outside, amidst experts, there was no need to contemplate.
Su Yuan opened the system panel, looking at the newly added skills.
“System, upgrade Broken Space and Teleportation to Transformation Realm!”
Star Dust was rapidly consumed. However, for Su Yuan now, upgrading two blue skills was a minor expense.
Within moments, the two skills had been upgraded to Transformation Realm.
Su Yuan glanced at the skill slots in the panel under the Silver Level One section:
[Silver Level: Void Splitting Monument Hand (Blue | Transformation Realm), Sky Lock (Blue | Transformation Realm), Frost Giant Dragon Summoning (Blue | Transformation Realm), Broken Space (Blue | Transformation Realm), Teleportation (Blue | Transformation Realm)]
Plus the Silver Stage Soul Skill, [Phase Transfer]…
Thus, all skill slots at the Silver Stage were not only completely filled, but five out of six skills were space-related!
A surge of intense excitement and satisfaction welled up in Su Yuan’s heart.
Last year, he was just a weak Star Apprentice who had to take great risks to hunt for even a green Star Card like Gray Flame Strike. Who would have thought he’d now possess multiple space-related skills?
“Everything is just the beginning.”
Su Yuan’s eyes shone brightly. Relying on the Star Dust System, he could rapidly enhance his skills.
With the strong abilities brought by high-level skills, he could compete for more resources, solidify his foundation, and further improve his strength.
Now that the Silver Stage skill slots were filled, it was time to consider Gold Level Star Cards.
Gold Level marked the start of a significant difference.
At the Gold Level, he could embed Epic Purple Cards!
As a Star Apprentice and Bronze Level, his strength and choices were limited. To quickly enhance his combat power and hunt for Star Dust Points, he couldn’t achieve perfection.
But at the Silver Stage, he was already among the top fighters of his generation. Many things were now within his power to strive for.
Thus, at the Silver Stage, he filled his weakness by embedding five Space Star Cards.
For the upcoming Gold Level, no matter how the other skill slots were organized, he must embed a Space-related Purple Card as his Soul Skill!
The Soul Card was the foundation of a Star Card Master.
Beyond Gold Level was Shining Star, where Secondary Awakening awaited. The three Soul Skills embedded at the lower three levels would significantly influence the Secondary Awakening.
Purple Cards were extremely precious. Many people, if fortunate enough to obtain an Epic Purple Card at the Gold Level, would embed it as a Soul Skill, even if the element didn’t match, to enhance the strength of their Secondary Awakening.
But Su Yuan wouldn’t accept any flaws in his Soul Card embedding. The grade, level, and compatibility all needed to be perfect!
However, Space-related Purple Cards were far more precious than ordinary Star Cards.
Even if Su Yuan advanced to Gold Level without embedding a Soul Skill, finding a Space-related Purple Card would still be incredibly difficult.
At present, though, a great opportunity arose with this Secret Realm journey!
The Sky Patrol Department appeared extraordinary. Both the academy and the military seemed diminished before it.
Hou Wu casually allowed him to use its privileges to exchange for more precious items in the military warehouse. This wouldn’t even be considered in the military, yet the Sky Patrol Department could ignore these rules, having astonishing authority!
This time, the Sky Patrol Department aimed to prevent the resurrection of a South Sea King-level Star Beast, promising a reward that would satisfy everyone.
From Yu Hui and Zhou Chao’s eager hints earlier, this task surely had immense benefits.
After all, even Zhou Chao aside, Yu Hui, a teacher at Demon Capital Academy, wouldn’t mislead him.
Furthermore, even Liu Congyun, Qin Jia, and others had undertaken this high-risk task. For them, enough to be tempted were only two things.
First, resources to help them break through to Shining Star.
Second, Epic Purple Cards!
If Su Yuan played a significant role in this task and obtained an Epic-quality Space-related Star Card, it wasn’t impossible!
After all, even an Epic Star Card paled in comparison to an ancient Demon King about to be resurrected!
Thus, this was an excellent opportunity to acquire a Space-related Purple Card, one of the reasons Su Yuan decisively accepted the task.
“Opportunity is given by others; the outcome depends on your own effort!”
Su Yuan’s eyes gleamed as he surveyed his surroundings. He then leaped into the air and flew forward!
