Chapter 374: Chapter 295: Invitation from the Sky Patrol Department
Su Yuan quickly dispersed his thoughts.
Ruan Ruan’s growth was swift, but as a Slime, even a reborn Demon Sovereign Slime, it was difficult to form a significant combat force.
There were two reasons for this.
One was that Ruan Ruan’s own Star Power talent was only C-level. The other talents were slightly lower, and Slimes did not have a distinct racial advantage.
The second was that although Ruan Ruan could devour many skills, the skills acquired through devouring could not be enhanced using the Star Dust system. They could only be practiced individually.
Knowing many skills, and mastering them all, that was called “Divine Skills.”
Knowing many, yet lacking proficiency, that was called the “Skill of the Wushu.”
Now, with this [Dream Reflection], combined with [Yesterday Reappears], Ruan Ruan first practiced a skill for a day and then repeatedly used Yesterday Reappears. Through Dream Reflection, she could retrospect the day’s state, thereby doubling the skill experience…
Thinking of this, Su Yuan felt a burst of excitement.
Although the exact effectiveness still needed to be assessed once the two skills were used, it was definitely worth the investment to try.
“This is the skill!”
These three items were just enough to spend nearly all 20,000 Dragon Gate Coins. Su Yuan immediately chose the three items to exchange.
In the Treasure Hall, green light flowed, and three blue dragons flew with treasures in their mouths to the platform.
A pill bottle and two wooden boxes with Purple Cards.
Su Yuan opened the pill bottle and wooden boxes one by one to check. After confirming their accuracy, he put them into his ring and walked out of the hall.
Outside the Treasure Hall, Elder Mo held a red talisman in his hand, apparently aware of Su Yuan’s selections. He nodded slightly.
Although curious, Huang Xiang did not dare to ask.
Seeing this, Su Yuan laughed and said, “Mainly a passive skill that allows future skills to be cast with both hands separately.”
“That’s amazing!” Huang Xiang, who had long been under high pressure and had abundant combat experience, immediately realized the power of this skill.
Qin Lianyun, as the young master of the Dragon Gate, had less combat experience and was somewhat puzzled. “Is this very powerful?”
“Of course it is, Master Lianyun,” Elder Mo, stroking his beard, laughed. “This skill is one of the most valuable among all the exchangeable items, very close to an Epic Star Artifact.”
Qin Lianyun clicked his tongue. Since Elder Mo said so, it couldn’t be wrong.
Huang Xiang said to Luo Bingtong, “Bingtong, you should go first.”
Luo Bingtong nodded and was about to enter the Treasure Hall with the Purple Carp Transcendence Token.
However, Elder Mo smiled and stopped her, then handed her a ring.
“This…is?”
“Young lady, this is what Lord Qin asked me to give you. Consider it your exchange reward.”
Hearing this, Su Yuan and the others were quite surprised.
Qin Lianyun was even more astonished, not expecting his father to specially prepare something for Su Yuan’s classmate.
Luo Bingtong glanced at the ring after receiving it, then thought of the Golden Dragon that flew to the Sky Dragon Palace and seemed to understand something, putting it away.
Not far from there, in a pavilion, Ao Yun, dressed in a Golden Dragon Robe, watched the white-haired girl from afar with a few traces of softness on his stern face.
“Little princess, you’ve grown so much in the blink of an eye. It’s a pity that one is too overbearing. This time, we could only deliver the Dragon Ball to catch a distant glimpse.”
Ao Yun sighed secretly, water light flowing in his left eye, recording the white-haired girl’s figure.
After one more look, Ao Yun leapt from the Sky Dragon Palace and flew away…
Now, Huang Xiang was the only one left.
Huang Xiang had just advanced to the Gold level and needed a Soul Skill.
For a No Attribute Soul Card, the compatibility requirements were not high and there were many choices.
With the Purple Carp talisman worth 5,000 Dragon Gate Coins, exchanging for a Purple Card was not difficult.
Before long, Huang Xiang also came out of the Treasure Hall, looking highly satisfied.
After coming out, Huang Xiang handed the newly obtained Purple Card to Su Yuan without hesitation. “Boss Su, how is this card I chose?”
Su Yuan took the Purple Card to examine:
[Return the Validation]
[Grade: Epic]
[Introduction: When critically injured and near death, enter a short validation state, immune to death, greatly enhancing recovery abilities. Any injury will be converted to healing effects, purifying all negative states when triggered.]
“Not bad, a life-saving skill that fits you well.” Su Yuan smiled and nodded after reading it.
Su Yuan had also seen this card earlier, worth 4,600 Dragon Gate Coins.
However, as someone who was not inclined to passive defense, this card was not suitable for him, so he didn’t consider it.
For Huang Xiang, this skill was indeed very suitable, greatly enhancing his survival ability.
Su Yuan smiled and said, “Now that there’s nothing major, let’s embed the Star Card directly.”
“Heh, that’s what I was planning!” Huang Xiang nodded and immediately began embedding the Star Card.
The process was soon completed.
With this, Su Yuan and his team had all acquired satisfactory treasures.
Especially Su Yuan, who obtained a Condensed Liquid Pill, marking a perfect end to this trip.
Qin Lianyun said, “Su Yuan, we’ll likely have to wait at the square for a while.”
Su Yuan casually replied, “Alright, let’s wait a bit.”
Returning from the Treasure Hall to the square, they immediately attracted some attention.
After all, Su Yuan and the others held a Golden Carp Transcendence Talisman and two Carp Transcendence Talismans, which probably earned them considerable treasures, especially Su Yuan with the Golden Carp Transcendence Talisman.
Su Yuan increased his vigilance.
At this moment, Qin Xiangyang, who was communicating with the Black Snow Country envoy, noticed the gleam in some people’s eyes and immediately raised his voice:
“Brother Su has done a favor for our Dragon Gate. I believe none of you would target a lower-level junior for some benefits, right?”
Dragon Gate was a perfect place that valued the love and righteousness of the Jianghu. Therefore, many strong people joined to make it the strongest in the Black Wind Domain.
As City Lord, Qin Xiangyang was clear on grudges, killing those he had to kill and helping those he had to help.
With his words bearing a slight warning, some people immediately hid their intentions.
Xiao Jian, however, was more direct. Glancing around coldly, he said, “Anyone who stoops to attack the talents of Great Flame, my Sky Patrol Department will hunt them down to the end!”
A fierce pressure enveloped the entire square, making everyone except a few Burning Sun level individuals feel suffocated.
Hou Wu cooperated by stepping to Su Yuan’s side, indicating the Sky Patrol Department’s stance.
This was an outright, unreserved warning!
Although Great Flame had no jurisdiction outside its country,
In the southern continent, Great Flame could manage if it wanted to!
With a King Level, a Sky Patrol Imperial Envoy, Qin Xiangyang, and Xiao Jian backing Su Yuan, none dared to show any ill will.
Su Yuan felt much more at ease, bowing slightly to Qin Xiangyang and Xiao Jian to express his gratitude.
Qin Xiangyang and Xiao Jian nodded, and Xiao Jian withdrew his pressure.
Hou Wu then said to Su Yuan, “Su Yuan, let’s talk privately.”
Su Yuan nodded, leaving Huang Xiang and Luo Bingtong where they were, and followed Hou Wu to a small pavilion outside the square.
They had some prior dealings, so Hou Wu got straight to the point: “Su Yuan, just now Envoy Xiao and I discussed again. We intend to recruit you into the Sky Patrol Department.”
The Sky Patrol Department…
Su Yuan’s eyes showed contemplation, not too surprised.
But he didn’t rush to speak, waiting for Hou Wu to continue.
Hou Wu slowly started: “Our Sky Patrol Department is the most powerful institution in Great Flame, responsible for protecting Great Flame’s security.
While undertaking high-difficulty tasks, we also enjoy the best resources and have the highest authority.
We act relatively freely, with basic autonomy unless tasked.
The Sky Patrol Department has Four Imperials: Azure Dragon Imperial, White Tiger Imperial, Xuanwu Imperial, and us, Vermilion Bird Imperial.
So, I hope you can join us, Vermilion Bird Imperial. Vermilion Bird Imperial is neither the Main Battle Department nor the Defense Department, but is responsible for coordinating support, highly flexible, and must manage both ends.
In common terms, we go wherever needed.
And because of this, Vermilion Bird Imperial demands the highest comprehensive qualities from its members, including combat power, adaptability, and event-handling abilities.
Therefore, Vermilion Bird Imperial has the fewest members, except for the White Tiger Imperial, which oversees laws.”
Su Yuan nodded understandingly, hearing about the “Four Imperials” for the first time. The teacher never mentioned this before.
Hou Wu continued: “During the last Demon King resurrection incident, Imperial Throne Fang already highly regarded you.
However, per our recruitment criteria, you must be Shining Star Level or above, so we first drafted you as a reserve candidate.
Now that you’re at the Gold Limit, just one step away from Shining Star, this time I officially invite you to reserve for Vermilion Bird Imperial.
If you accept, after advancing to Shining Star, we will promptly issue an entry task for evaluation.”
Su Yuan said, “I wouldn’t refuse to contribute to Great Flame, but surely, I won’t do it for free…”
Hou Wu understood that Su Yuan inquired about the benefits of the Sky Patrol Department and laughed heartily: “While undertaking high-difficulty tasks, our Sky Patrol Department members also have the highest authority and enjoy the best resources!
Regarding authority, you have already experienced it when you used my authority to exchange for military merits, right?
That is just the tip of the iceberg.
The Sky Patrol Department can even mobilize the City Guard and the army for coordination!
In terms of resources, who can compare to the Sky Patrol Department, which embodies the entire Great Flame’s essence?
Especially for rare talents like you, a Space Star Card Master, the Sky Patrol Department absolutely guarantees better development.
Top-quality Space Star Cards, rare outside, are ample in the Sky Patrol Department.
And not just Star Cards, but also Elixirs, materials, Star Artifacts…anything you can or cannot think of, you have the opportunity to get, provided you make enough contributions!
Moreover, the Sky Patrol Department offers high flexibility, especially the Vermilion Bird Imperial. Without tasks or war, you can act freely.”
Su Yuan’s eyes showed contemplation. Undoubtedly, the Sky Patrol Department was a perfect place for his personal growth.
He immediately felt the power of having a strong backing.
Without a background, many strong people could covet his exchanged treasures and easily overpower him.
But if backed by the Sky Patrol Department, those considering harming him had to think twice…
After a brief consideration, Su Yuan bowed slightly: “Thank you, Hou Special Envoy, for the invitation. I intend to join the Sky Patrol Department, Vermilion Bird Imperial.”
“Great!!”
Hou Wu happily patted Su Yuan’s shoulder, handing him a black talisman.
“Breakthrough to Shining Star Level, and we will contact you through this talisman.”
Su Yuan nodded, then returned to the square with Hou Wu.
