Chapter 53: Bronze Level, Lava Cave
After returning from Yaodu Academy, Su Yuan returned to his normal study life.
Although it is already a special enrollment, you still have to take the classes you are supposed to take.
Courses such as "Dayan Geography" and "Blue Star Common Language" are not just for the college entrance examination, but because they are used.
As for skills training and other courses, you don't need to take them. You can practice your star power with all your strength in order to advance to the bronze level as soon as possible.
Not many people in the college knew that Su Yuan went to Demon City to take the special recruitment assessment, but as soon as the results of Su Yuan passing the assessment came out, Guangchuan No. 4 Middle School and even the Guangchuan City Education Bureau immediately launched a vigorous publicity campaign!
Firecrackers are blasting and gongs and drums are noisy!
In front of the teaching building of No. 4 Middle School, the banners that originally congratulated Chen Jiujun for becoming a special enrollment student in Wanzhou were moved aside, the C seat was given up, and replaced with a banner by Su Yuan:
"Congratulations to our schoolmate Su Yuan for successfully passing the Yaodu Special Recruitment Assessment with excellent results and becoming a special recruitment student at Yaodu College!"
What an exaggeration!
Not only that, many local companies in Guangchuan have approached Su Yuan to endorse him.
Forget about "Nine Walnuts", "The Show of Emperor Flowers", etc., even "Concentrated Nine Flavor Rehmannia Pills" were also found...
Now in Guangchuan City, who doesn’t know that there is a special admissions student named “Su Yuan” from No. 4 Middle School?
Of course Su Yuan didn't want to be so high-profile, but even the opportunity to go to the Demon City was given by Wang Haiping. If the Education Bureau wanted to promote Su Yuan, it couldn't stop him. It was good that he didn't have to cooperate with the promotion.
After a full week or two, the two topics "Special recruitment of Su Yuan in the Demon City" and "Three special recruitments in one city" finally came down from the hot search list in Guangchuan City.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was mid-July, more than a month had passed since the college entrance examination in early June.
During this time, college entrance examinations, application filling, admissions, graduation trips...all kinds of things are very busy outside.
But Su Yuan seemed to be isolated from the world. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, he went to a professional training center near home to absorb and refine star power.
There are four or five such training halls even in Guangchuan City. They are dedicated places for training. They are quiet and equipped with basic barriers.
It is not very convenient to practice at home all the time. First, there are parents at home and guests come over from time to time.
Second, sometimes if the star power is not well controlled, it will make a mess in the room or even damage the furniture.
Although the training hall charges a fee, Su Yuan has sold several bronze-level star cores and has more than ten or two hundred thousand, so he is not short of this amount of money for the time being.
The training center Su Yuan chose is called Panda, mainly because it is close to home and can be reached in 15 minutes.
When the boss saw that it was Su Yuan who came to practice, although it was not completely free, he directly discounted the fracture price and just took the opportunity to run a small advertisement.
"Panda training, the choice for top special admissions students!"
…
At noon this day, in the training room.
Along with a high-pitched phoenix cry, a strong spatial fluctuation filled the entire training room.
Su Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes overflowing with brilliance and divine light!
"Finally, bronze level!"
Feeling the powerful star power surging within his body, Su Yuan couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
Ever since he absorbed a large amount of Tiangan Fruit in the Mysterious Realm of the Sacred Tree, he has been close to the ninth level limit.
More than two months have passed now, and after practicing crazily day and night, I finally broke through to the bronze level before the academy started!
After a while, after calming down his excitement, Su Yuan sat down cross-legged again and entered the state of internal vision.
The star power cyclone in the chest expands greatly, and the total amount and intensity of star power are greatly increased by one or two times!
If we were to face the golden-eyed silver-winged tigers in the sixth wave of the Requiem Xuan Burial Monument now, we would definitely be sure of it. It would not be as reluctant as before.
"However, this is not over yet..."
Bronze level is the official start of the star card master's journey, and after being promoted to bronze level, as expected, he got 5 new skill slots.
The ring in Su Yuan's hand flashed, and two cards, one blue and one green, appeared in his hand. They were the [Air Cut] obtained from the Requiem Xuan Burial Monument, and the [Baptism of Holy Light] given by Wang Haiping.
With a thought in Su Yuan's mind, the [Baptism of Holy Light] was filled with brilliance, disappeared from his hand first, and was embedded around the soul card Blue Sky Phoenix.
Looking at the remaining [Air Cut] in his hand, Su Yuan's eyes froze and he used it without hesitation.
But this time, it’s as a soul skill!
Star card masters of different levels have upper limits on the quality of star cards they can inlay due to their own endurance.
Star disciples can only inlay green star cards at most, and starting from the bronze level, every time they increase two star power realms, the quality of the star cards that can be inlaid increases by one level.
In other words, the star power realm is 2 and the star card quality is 1, that is:
Bronze, silver, up to blue star card can be inlaid.
Gold, shining stars, and up to purple star cards can be embedded.
The glowing moon, the scorching sun, and the highest gold star card can be inlaid.
Only above the scorching sun can the red star card be inlaid.
Of course, this is the theoretical upper limit of quality. In fact, among high-level star card masters, it is usually difficult for a card to reach the upper limit of quality.
The three colors of white, green, and blue are okay, but purple epic star cards and above are extremely rare. Usually, among several shining star star card masters, not one of them may have a purple quality star card!
Closer to home, for Su Yuan, who has just been promoted to the bronze level, the highest level can only be inlaid with blue star cards.
Regardless of its quality, attributes or type, Air Cut is extremely suitable for Blue Sky Phoenix, and it is perfect as a soul skill!
At this time, as Su Yuan used star power to communicate, the blue light on [Air Cut] flashed, sank into the body, turned into a star, and crashed directly into [Phoenix of the Blue Sky].
"Qiang!!"
The Phoenix in the Blue Sky suddenly came to life and let out a high-pitched neighing sound.
A large number of silver chains of space runes continuously shoot out from the card surface of [Phoenix of the Blue Sky], surrounding [Phoenix of the Blue Sky] in the center like a celestial body, spinning non-stop!
After a while, all the space chains retracted together, and [Phoenix of the Blue Sky] quickly settled down.
Soul skill [Air Cut], inlay completed!
Su Yuan could feel that the card surface of [Phoenix in the Blue Sky] had changed significantly compared to before. It was more refined and more vivid than before.
In addition, the speed of absorbing and refining star power is about 30% faster than before!
Soul skills are not only used as skills. The quality and level of the soul skills will also promote the growth of the soul card, thereby accelerating the growth of the star card master himself.
Now Su Yuan's panel has changed into:
【Su Yuan】
[Level: Bronze]
[Soul Card: Phoenix in the Blue Sky]
[Quality: Master]
[Race: Phoenix]
[Attribute: Space]
[Talent: Blue Sky: Increase power by 20% when using space skills]
[Six dimensions: strength c, agility c, defense c, physique c, spirit c, star power c]
[Soul Skill:
Blue: Teleportation: Transformation, Air Cut: Getting Started]
【Skill:
White: Gangyan Finger: Transformation, Hardened Iron Clothes: Transformation, Wind Walk: Transformation
Green: Blue Flame Strike: Transformation Realm, Yuan Magnetic Pressure: Transformation Realm, Holy Light Baptism: Introduction]
【Stardust:80】
"Then the next step is to hunt for stardust and increase the proficiency level of air cutting and holy light baptism!"
Originally, Su Yuan planned to play Stardust in the Daman Mountains until school started, but he had only been playing for more than a week. When he had just come down from the mountain and was resting in a suburban hotel outside the Daman Mountains, he turned on his phone and unexpectedly received a message from Zhuang Xun.
Su Yuan looked at the time, it was two days ago.
"Zhuang Xun, what do you want from me?" Su Yuan called back.
"Brother, you've finally replied!" Zhuang Xun's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What's wrong?"
Zhuang Xun said with a smile: "I heard that you are now recruiting students from the Demon City? It's spread all over our Qingye City, you're awesome!"
"...That's what you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Of course not!" Zhuang Xun paused and asked excitedly, "Su Yuan, are you bronze level now?"
There was nothing to hide. Su Yuan replied truthfully: "We just broke through not long ago."
"Great! I knew you had taken so many Tiangan fruits last time, and it's almost time to break through now!"
"What's wrong? What's the matter?"
"Of course! Don't you know about the recent events in the Flame Mountain?"
Flame Mountain?
If Su Yuan remembered correctly, the Flame Mountain is a low-level danger zone in the south of Shuzhou, and further south is the territory of Qingzhou.
Although the Flame Mountain is a low-level danger zone like the Daman Mountains, the level of danger is far higher than that of the Daman Mountains.
The Flame Mountain is not a mountain, but a rolling, rugged mountainous area with several active volcanoes scattered throughout it. The environment is harsh and the concentration of fire elements is very high.
In addition, the star beasts in the Flame Mountain are generally stronger than those in the Daman Mountains, and there are even gold-level star beasts at the highest.
Generally speaking, the risk factor is relatively high, but because there are many fire minerals, materials and elite star beasts, the Flame Mountain is also a place where many fire star card masters often go to take risks.
"What happened to the Flame Mountain? I have been in the Daman Mountains for the past few days, so there may be some unclear information."
"In the Daman Mountains again? Let me go, as expected of you, you are either practicing or practicing!" Zhuang Xun complained, and then said excitedly, "The Flame Mountain erupted! The bronze-level secret realm lava cave appeared again, last time
It seems like the lava cave opened more than twenty years ago!"
Lava cave?
Su Yuan thought for a while, and then quickly came up with it.
The Flame Mountain is famous not only because of itself, but also because it is connected to a small secret realm - the lava cave!
Whenever the Flame Mountain erupts, the lava cave will reappear in the world with the eruption of lava from the center of the earth.
Su Yuan asked: "So, you are planning to go to the lava cave to have a look?"
"Yes, that's it. I even called Fang Kun, and he has already broken through the bronze level. The three of us will join forces to break into this lava cave. We will definitely gain a lot!
According to records, there are fire-based materials, spiritual plants, rare star beasts, etc. inside! How about taking advantage of this rare opportunity?"
When Su Yuan heard this, he just thought for a moment and said, "Do it!"
There are many reasons for the formation of secret realms. Some are drifting world fragments; some are created artificially by top experts; others are formed naturally under the influence of rules due to special geographical environment combined with high-density energy...
But no matter how it is formed, the stability of all secret realms is far from comparable to that of the real world.
Therefore, many secret realms have upper limits on the energy they can withstand.
When individuals who exceed this upper limit try to enter the secret realm, they will be rejected by the secret realm out of self-protection.
Of course, if the individual's power far exceeds that of the secret realm, it is indeed possible to enter by force, but a little carelessness may cause the secret realm to collapse.
Generally speaking, the larger the secret realm, the higher the energy level and the more stable it is. Some large secret realms can even accommodate the Scorching Sun level, but some secret realms can only accommodate the Bronze level at most.
The lava cave of the Flame Mountain is such a bronze-level secret realm.
This means that there will be no Silver-level individuals in the lava cave, and its level of danger may not be as high as in the central area of the Flame Mountain.
With his high-level skills, Su Yuan was confident that he was not afraid of anyone above the bronze level. Even if he was defeated, saving his life would not be a problem.
This kind of secret realm, which is opened every twenty or thirty years, usually produces many high-quality materials and star beasts.
Now that I have just entered the Bronze level, and my strength is improving by leaps and bounds, five new skill slots have been inlaid with one Holy Light Baptism, but there are still four empty ones!
Not to mention that it will be used up immediately, but it’s not too much to find a satisfactory star card in such a secret realm, right?
"Okay!" Seeing Su Yuan agree, Zhuang Xun laughed, with great excitement in his tone, "I knew you would definitely go! Fang Kun and I had already arrived in Yunyang City yesterday. If we hadn't waited for you,
We already set off yesterday, luckily you lived up to our expectations!"
Yunyang City is a secondary city in the southernmost part of Shuzhou and the city closest to the Flame Mountain.
Su Yuan looked at the time. It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and said, "In that case, I will catch the nearest flight to meet you, rest for the night, and set off early tomorrow morning."
"Okay! Then we'll wait for you here. You can see if there's anything you need. We'll buy it for you first.
In addition, many people have entered the Flame Mountain in the past two days, not to mention the students from Shuzhou and Qingzhou, I even heard that there are geniuses from the Antarctic College who made a special trip here, we have to hurry up!"
"Just help me prepare water and compressed food for another week. Don't worry, a secret realm can't be explored in just two days, and if you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to explore it all no matter how much time you give."
"Okay, let's talk about it when you arrive. We'll wait for you at the airport."
"no problem."
Su Yuan hung up the phone, immediately booked a flight to Yunyang City, then left the hotel and rushed to the airport.
…
In the evening, Yunyang Airport.
"Su Yuan, this way!" Zhuang Xun greeted from a distance in the airport hall, and Fang Kun stood beside him with his arms folded.
Su Yuan raised his hand in response and quickly walked over.
"You're here!" Zhuang Xun laughed.
Su Yuan smiled and said, "I kept you waiting for a long time."
Fang Kun on the side said: "It's okay, we just arrived."
Fang Kun looked at Su Yuan in front of him. Except that he could faintly feel the fluctuations of bronze-level star power on Su Yuan's body, he still looked so ordinary on the surface. He was just an ordinary high school student who was harmless to humans and animals.
This guy...is hiding something really deep.
Fang Kun secretly cursed.
Zhuang Xun said to Su Yuan: "At first I said that I wanted to find a master and that I had to wait a while. He was not happy and said, 'Why wait!' But as soon as I said it was you, he immediately stopped talking, hahaha...
…”
"Zhuang Xun, don't you talk too much about things that don't matter?" Fang Kun snorted coldly, "You failed me in the close sparring last time. Now that you have time, why don't you make some gestures on the spot?"
Zhuang Xun's laughter suddenly stopped.
Just kidding, he didn't want to fight this reckless man.
Su Yuan looked at these two people and couldn't help but smile.
The relationship between these two people is really good...unlike the two special admissions students from the Demon City.
One is arrogant and arrogant; the other is as cold as ice, and I don’t know what kind of star beast it is.
Zhuang Xundao: "Let's go then. The hotel has been booked. Let's go have a skewer and discuss it carefully."
Chapter completed!
