Chapter 217: Explosive Strength Increase!

“The only cultivation technique I’m cultivating now is the New Star Evolution
Technique. I’ll not upgrade it for now.”
Wang Ye looked at his strength level.
The New Star Evolution Technique would likely allow him to reach cosmic level 4 as an ability user, thus increasing his life level.
It was a good thing for his strength but not if he wanted to be admitted to the Supreme Human Academy.
The Military Strategy Department’s individual combat ability was 2000 points, in which one’s life level was also taken into consideration.
A high-grade Cosmic Lifeform’s points would be 1.2 times one’s score, a middle-grade Cosmic Lifeform’s would be 1.35 times, and a low-level Cosmic Lifeform’s would be 1.5 times.
To put it simply, if his individual combat ability score was 800, his total points would be 1200, which was 1.5 times the original score.
It was very high.
An ordinary Dark Energy-level expert like Munro Uttina, who had caused him a lot of trouble previously, would only have a score of 800.
His goal was to enter the Supreme Human Academy!
The first assessment was purely to accumulate experience. The entrance examination was held once every three years. After repeating a few times, he didn’t believe that he wouldn’t be able to get in.
“I should increase my combat prowess. Spatial Control is the combat foundation of cosmic warriors and the Condensation Spell is the basic ability spell of ability users. These two have the highest priority.”
Wang Ye quickly locked onto the important parts.
Thankfully, he had already grasped both, so he did not need to comprehend them further.
[Do you want to spend 200,000 potential points to improve your Spatial Control?]
[Yes.]
Wang Ye instantly entered the space of consciousness. Time flew by, and he began to comprehend the mysteries of Spatial Control.
He integrated into the world, comprehended through cultivation, and improved himself through actual combat simulations.
Whoosh!
Enlightened.
At that moment, Wang Ye understood.
Stage 3 Spatial Control!
Continue!
[Do you wish to spend 1,000,000 potential points to improve your Spatial Control?]
[Yes.]
He comprehended it once again. Countless mysteries entered his mind.
Wang Ye instantly understood what Nante and Munro Uttina felt when they fought.
His grasp and control of space reached the pinnacle, allowing him to perfectly merge with it.
His eyes were bright, and his stage increased greatly. Even the surrounding cosmic energy was much stronger.
Hmm, Spatial Control was not difficult either.
Stage 4 Spatial Control was almost at the standard of a Dark Energy-level expert. It would be inappropriate to advance to stage 5.
[Do you wish to spend 4,000,000 potential points to upgrade your Spatial Control?]
[No.]
Wang Ye took a look.
He was more suited to be an all-rounder than a professional.
Continue to improve!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Condensation Spell was improved by three consecutive stages.
The cost of upgrading from stage 1 to stage 4 was similar to that of Spatial Control. The only difference was that an additional 50,000 potential points were required to upgrade from stage 1 to stage 2.
With this, he still had 4.126 million potential points left.
“Cosmic-level beings improve in terms of the degree of control, specifically the control of the cosmic and the world. In contrast, New Star Lifeforms improve one’s strength and toughness!”
Combat energy and the Compression Spell were both very important.
A true expert would not have any shortcomings.
[Do you want to spend 1,000,000 potential points to upgrade your combat energy?]
[Yes!]
Stage 6 combat energy!
With that, he gained absolute control over combat energy, and his explosive power had increased by another level.
Meanwhile, the power of the Nine Qi Saber Control Technique which relied on combat energy could be upgraded to another level.
200,000 potential points were consumed.
In the space of consciousness, Wang Ye released his combat energy.
The six streaks of saber energy formed a huge pressure field, covering the enemy in all directions. There were layers of them, and there was no gap.
The six streaks of saber energy overlapped, binding, controlling, and reaching the peak of power!
Boom!
He comprehended stage 6 of the Nine Qi Saber Control Technique, Six Qi Bind!
Continue!
[Compression Spell, Level 4
Level 5.]
[Compress Spell, Level 5
Level 6!]
The most direct explosive power of an ability user!
It cost him 1,300,000 potential points.
He still had 1,626,000 potential points left.
Time to upgrade his ability spells!
Wang Ye only planned to keep one million potential points for emergencies like comprehending a new cultivation technique or being lucky enough to obtain a perfect bloodline.
If he didn’t have any potential points then, it would be really awkward.
As for the others, money would come back after it was gone.
With money, he could buy a large number of slaves, and naturally, he would have countless potential points.
Electromagnetism Spell, stage 5!
Explosive Spell, stage 5!
Soul Tremble Technique, stage 5!
Spirit Spell, stage 5!
They were all New Star-level ability spells, so upgrading them to stage 5 from stage 4 only required 100,000 potential points.
[Do you want to spend 200,000 potential points to upgrade the Explosive Spell?]
[Yes!]
The last 200,000 potential points were consumed.
The stage 6 Explosive Spell raised Wang Ye’s combat energy to its peak.
Potential points remaining, 1,026,000.
“Too strong…” Wang Ye felt as if he had been reborn in this instant.
Whether it was his strength as a cosmic warrior or an ability user, they had all undergone earth-shattering changes.
If the two could be perfectly combined, his strength… The upper limit was hard to predict!
“If I were to face Munro Uttina one-on-one now, I can easily kill him.” Wang Ye was very confident.
He was currently extremely strong!
But it was not enough.
The next step was to choose a weapon.
How important was Dark Energy-level equipment?
Back then, he had relied on the Radiant Star Saber to turn the tables.
The Huanyu Armory was a branch of the Huanyu Chamber of Commerce, which was among the 18 top human factions.
There were no top-grade weapons here, but there were a large number of weapons of various levels for selection.
In terms of supreme weapons, the Divine Weapon Heavenly Armory was the best. Every single one of their weapon was of the highest grade.
However, just like the Myriad Race Slavery Farm, it was extremely expensive.
There was no need for that now.
It had nothing to do with money. He just didn’t want to buy it.
n
What kind of saber would you like?” The salesperson smiled as he quickly scanned Wang Ye and made a basic judgment.
The Radiant Star Saber on his waist was enough to prove that he was not a customer who only window-shopped.
“An unlimited Dark Energy level 3 saber.” Wang Ye’s goal was clear.
He had an ability user weapon, as well as a battle suit. What he lacked was a Dark Energy-level saber that could increase his attack power!
Unlimited weapons might be expensive, but they were useful.
Besides, a Dark Energy level 1 saber was too ordinary.
“May I know what is your budget?” The salesperson beamed.
Unlimited weapons were often ten times or even a hundred times more expensive than dark energy weapons of the same level.
The Radiant Star Saber was only worth about 1.5 cosmic dollars as a level 3 ability user weapon, but due to its “unlimited” characteristic, its selling price could reach 60 cosmic dollars, which was a 40-fold increase!
“40 cosmic dollars.” Wang Ye thought for a moment. “Preferably two sabers.”
“This way please, customer.” The salesperson nodded and smiled.
They entered the saber storehouse where there was a dazzling array of sabers. It was like a world of sabers, with sabers displayed everywhere like a museum.
In the middle of each huge room was an empty space for the guests to test the sabers.
They passed through one door after another, like walking in a maze.
The attributes of the sabers in each room were different.
“Unlimited level 3 Saber Room.” Wang Ye looked at the board above the room and entered.
In the room were over a hundred sabers, with their prices clearly marked.
The salesperson quickly made a selection and helped Wang Ye eliminate the sabers priced above 40 cosmic dollars.
Four different price-ranged sabers – below 10 cosmic dollars, 10 to 20 cosmic dollars, 20 to 30 cosmic dollars, and 30 to 40 cosmic dollars – were displayed with different lights.
Precise and concise.
Wang Ye went straight to the sabers of the highest price range at 30 to 40 cosmic dollars.
He didn’t want to buy two 20 cosmic dollar sabers.
Rather, he would get one for 30 cosmic dollars and another for 10 cosmic dollars. Such a combination would be better.
Of course, if there was a saber that was extremely compatible with him, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to just get one for 40 cosmic dollars.
After all, he still had the Radiant Star Saber.
There were ten sabers.
Wang Ye quickly scanned through them.
Other than the text introduction, model sabers also shone brightly.
When he took a model, he could feel 100% of the power and special effects of the saber.
“Red Rouge Saber, 35 cosmic dollars, three layers of mystical engravings. Through unleashing combat energy, Red Rouge Flames can be released…” Wang Ye held a model saber in his hand and instantly entered the demonstration space.
It was as if he was fighting demons on the battlefield with a saber in hand. The mystical engravings were activated one after another, and his combat energy was bursting out continuously!
The saber energy was accompanied by clusters of red flames that burned the demons and devils. Its lethality was extreme!
The stronger the combat energy, the stronger the Red Rouge Flame.
After leaving the demonstration space, Wang Ye sighed in amazement.
“Heroic Saber, 40 cosmic dollars, two layers of mystical engravings. Stimulate the combat energy in the body to gather into a Heroic Halo…” Wang Ye took the saber with mystical engravings in his hand and entered the demonstration space again.
He held the saber and fought with the devils, activating his combat energy continuously. It was as if he had two layers of buffs stacked. His physical strength, combat energy, and willpower had all been enhanced, giving him a sense of being a Paladin.
This was an overall amplification-type saber. Its every aspect was outstanding.
Wang Ye tried each saber.
While he was at it, he also tested all 24 sabers worth 20 to 30 cosmic dollars.
You get what you pay for. This was his greatest realization.
The 24 sabers priced between 20 to 30 cosmic dollars were slightly inferior in terms of special effects.
He pondered carefully.
“I want the Bone-splitting Poison Saber.” Wang Ye quickly made a decision.
He once again held the model saber and entered the demonstration space.
The light shadow wielding the saber was engaged in an intense battle with a cosmic-level pirate.
Combat energy triggered layers of mystical engravings. The first layer increased attack power, the second layer increased defense-cracking ability, and the third layer was a special effect – Bone Splitting Poison!
The dark black poison seeped into the other party’s broken armor, causing damage to the cosmic-level body. It was especially lethal to warriors and would destroy the circulation of combat energy in their bodies.
The Red Rogue Saber was very useful too, but it was most effective against demon warriors with huge bodies.
In contrast, the Bone Splitting Poison Saber was mostly used in battles with human cosmic warriors, and it could unleash unimaginable power.
Moreover, the price was 3 cosmic dollars cheaper than the Red Rouge Saber.
With the remaining 8 cosmic dollars in his budget, Wang Ye bought a Five-edged Saber. It was a simple and unadorned unlimited dark energy weapon. It did not have any special effects, but with a total of five layers of engravings, its sharpness was not inferior to an ordinary Dark Energy level 4 weapon.
Since the price was only 8 cosmic dollars, how could he ask for more?
The items displayed in the Anonymous Trade Center were still being sold one after another, but they were almost sold out.
The remaining 30 or so cosmic dollars Wang Ye reserved for Nante, who also needed a good weapon to unleash his strongest combat prowess.
With a full load, Wang Ye returned to the Star Traveller Inn, where there was a dojo for training.
Following this, Wang Ye mastered his new weapon and new abilities. He perfectly integrated his combat prowess!
In the remaining time, he would continue to improve and wait for the first assessment of the Supreme Human Academy.
Although he was only accompanying Xin Ran for the assessment and had no chance of success, he also felt no burden and could use this to accumulate some experience.
He would go all out!
