Chapter 9 Rapid Improvement

 The peripheral area in the northwest of the Daman Mountains is located between Guangchuan City and Qingye City, a secondary city in the northeast, and is surrounded by the two cities.

In the dense forest in the mountains, a handsome young man wearing a green and black school uniform was walking quickly through the forest. The school uniform also had the four words "Qingye No. 1 Middle School" embroidered in gold thread.

Just as the young man was about to pass a big tree where two people were hugging each other, suddenly, a green shadow shot down from the tree!

The young man reacted quickly. The black and red sword in his hand suddenly turned red, and he slashed at the black shadow above his head as fast as a phantom, cutting it into two pieces and falling to the ground.

It turns out that this is a color-changing python that is good at sneak attacks.

 Chameleon python, which can change its skin color to camouflage itself while concealing its own aura.

The chameleon python that was broken into two parts was not completely dead. At this time, it twisted the upper half of its body and actually jumped up and bit the young man again.

“The eighth-level color-changing python is really looking for death.”

The young man seemed to be in a bad mood. Seeing the chameleon python attacking again without mercy, he waved the long sword in his hand at high speed.

Just a moment later, the three- to four-meter-long eighth-level color-changing python was cut into more than a dozen pieces and scattered around.

“The flame crystal was not found, but there are endless obstructions!”

"According to the information provided by the person from the Star Card Master Association, the flame crystal should be in the area near Guangchuan City, and it is also guarded by a bronze primary fire-walking wolf. I have been here for three days. , there is no sign of the fire-walking wolf yet."

 The young man suppressed the impatience in his heart and sighed slightly.

Taking out a square towel to wipe off the snake blood on the sword, the young man casually took out the star core of the color-changing python, and then continued towards the depths with a sway...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed since Su Yuan entered the Daman Mountains.

In addition to killing a large number of star disciple-level star beasts, Su Yuan also encountered a real bronze-level star beast yesterday, an extremely fast wind-walking marten!

The qualities of a bronze-level star beast in all aspects are at least twice that of a ninth-level star disciple, and their strength is terrifying.

 Fortunately, Su Yuan relied on the system to add points and made rapid progress in the past few days. His strength at this time was far from what it was when he first entered the Daman Mountains.

 The Strong Flame Finger has been strengthened 15 times to the perfect level. In addition, the teleportation has been successfully strengthened once. Just once, it cost a full 200 points of stardust!

  In other words, the strengthening cost of blue cards is 20 times that of white cards!

However, the effect is also visible to the naked eye. The time for teleportation is shortened from 1 second to about 0.7 seconds, and the interval between operations is shortened from 7 seconds to 5 seconds.

 As for the upper limit of teleportation distance, this is related to skill level and star power. It was originally 10 meters, but now it has reached 20 meters.

 It is conceivable that this blue skill will only get stronger and stronger in the future.

  Unfortunately, the amount of stardust required to add points is too much, so in terms of cost-effectiveness, we still have to slow down.

In addition, Su Yuan also obtained another pretty good defense-enhancing skill from an iron-backed ape—hardened iron skin.

Relying on the hardened iron skin that quickly reaches the Dacheng level, Su Yuan has a lot more fault tolerance in the battle.

 Especially when dealing with the Wind-walking Marten.

As a bronze-level star beast that is good at speed, Fengxing Mink is extremely fast. He also has the skill "Wind Walk" that can increase his movement speed. Even Su Yuan cannot match it.

Fortunately, the Dacheng-level hardened iron skin can withstand most of the attacks of Fengxing Mink, including the wind blade, so Su Yuan was able to kill it with teleportation and the combo of Gangyan Finger after some fierce pulling and fighting. ! In the end, Su Yuan spent stardust to extract [Wind Walk] and embedded it into the Star Power Cyclone as the third skill.

 The value of Wind Walk is similar to that of Gangyan Finger. They are both very practical skills in the white card. Only the entry-level Wind Walk increases Su Yuan's speed by another 20%!

“We have been out for more than a week, and the supplies are almost running out. It’s time to go out to rest and replenish…”

Su Yuan now looks quite embarrassed. His clothes are damaged in many places, most of which were torn to pieces by Fengxing Mink. The red and green stains are stained with the blood and body fluids of many star beasts, as if they were dyed by a dye vat, even in the stream. Even if I wash it, it won't come clean.

In addition, there are some injuries on the body, but they are not serious. With the recovery ability of C-level physical strength and some medication, most of them have scarred.

"It's a pity that I didn't meet a star beast with healing skills," Su Yuan said with a slight regret. "Otherwise, if I learn another healing skill, I would be completely self-sufficient."

Su Yuan looked inside to check the situation in the Star Power Cyclone. As expected, he should be able to learn two more skills.

 When he reaches the bronze level, there will be five new skill slots, so Su Yuan doesn’t have to worry too much about wasting skill slots like others.

General star card skills are only secondary, just enough, don’t think too much, but what really needs to be carefully considered and carefully selected are soul skills!

Soul skills are star card skills that are directly embedded on the soul card. They are usually skills that can receive additional blessings from talents. One will be included when awakening.

 After this, a new soul skill can be embedded at each level starting from the bronze level, and the soul skill must be embedded before you can practice to the next level.

So the reason why the awakened soul card is a necessary condition to become a star card master, in addition to the soul card increasing the speed of star power cultivation, the fundamental reason is that the soul card's own soul skills can pry open the bronze-level door.

 And the quality, level, and compatibility with the soul card of the soul skill will also affect the intensity of the soul card's second awakening.

 The first skill slot on the soul card will be opened at the bronze level. Although it will take some time, Su Yuan can also start to look for suitable skills.

There are no fixed standards for compatibility, but there is a basic rule for soul cards with attributes, which is that they must be embedded with star card skills that have the same attributes as the soul card.

 So what Su Yuan needs is high-quality space skills.

 As for the skill level, there is a system that can always improve it, so it is not a problem.

  The problem is that there are very few space-based, time-based and some special attribute star beast skills, and the quality is generally higher than that of elemental attributes, so it may not be that easy to find.

“It’s useless to think so much now. There must be a road to the mountain. If you wait until you enter Star Power Academy, the platform will be bigger. There will always be clues about the space system skills.”

Su Yuan shook his head, picked up the deflated backpack, took out the map and compass, determined the direction, and started walking back.

After walking for nearly half a day, Su Yuan suddenly heard the sound of rustling and moving quickly through the dense forest in the distance.

Su Yuan immediately became vigilant and turned his head to look over.

Not long after, I saw a young man in school uniform running away in panic, and behind him were seven or eight gray wolves with green flames in hot pursuit.

Feeling the aura of ninth-level star disciples on those gray wolves, Su Yuan couldn't help but be startled: "Did this guy poke into the den of the gray wolf?"

Just at this moment, the young man was keenly aware of Su Yuan here. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he changed direction and ran over. As he ran, he shouted loudly: "Brother, please help!"
