Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 618: 489 Chapter: The Skill Worth Tens of Thousands of Battle Merit

Su Yuan left the Demon Capital and returned directly to the Sky Patrol Department.

To travel to the Southern Continent, he had to make the best preparations.

The most important was to wait for the Demon Soul to recover and for the two epic star artifacts to be completed.

The three-month period for the Demon Soul to recover was less than half a month away, but before that, there was something else to be done…

That was to use up the battle merits!

Sky Patrol Department, Star Storage Hall.

Jiang Lang was originally checking the display materials in the library. When he looked up, he saw a familiar figure in a star robe.

“Su Xing Lord!”

Jiang Lang immediately stood up and saluted, a look of admiration in his eyes.

The last time Su Yuan came to the Star Storage Hall was to exchange for the Five Thunders Heavenly Gang Formation, at that time he was still a First Level Special Envoy.

And now, it had only been a week since the Tiger Vein Contest, and it was the peak of Su Yuan’s reputation!

“Special Envoy Jiang.” Su Yuan nodded in response and then walked into the hall towards the third floor.

“Look over there, it’s Su Xing Lord!”

“It really is! It is said that Su Xing Lord played the leading role in the Tiger Vein Contest. This is the first time I’ve seen him in person.”

“…”

In the Star Storage Hall, occasional excited and admiring discussions could be heard.

Now Su Yuan first became a Star Lord and then made great contributions. He was no longer the unknown newbie when he first joined the Sky Patrol Department.

However, whether unknown or famous, Su Yuan did not seem to care much.

Only his own strength was the foundation of everything!

Su Yuan went straight to the third floor, where the number of star catalogs was significantly less than on the lower two floors.

Su Yuan came to the place where space-related skills were stored. Last time he came, he had his eye on several excellent space-related skills, including attack, control, and defense.

However, after experiencing battles with Virgo, Gemini, and others, Su Yuan had already decided on the skills he needed.

That was space-based martial arts!

Su Yuan’s gaze fell on two star catalogs in front of him.

[Shuokong Dance]

[Grade: Epic]

[Element: Space]

[Introduction: Form a high-density, high-strength slash through the technique of space folding. There are ten strikes, hundred strikes, and thousand strikes realms. When perfected, one can launch a thousand attacks in a short time!]

[Battle Merit: 8k]

Although this space-based martial art had only one move, its increase in power was quite astonishing.

If practiced to the thousand strikes realm, it could break all laws with sheer force.

Moreover, it was relatively flexible to use, and its power could be adjusted according to the situation.

This move was somewhat similar to Zhang Qianyi’s Divine Wind Skill Hundred-Split Thousand Strikes. Even though it consumed more and was slightly less profound, it was still quite powerful!

For the earlier Su Yuan, it could have been a good choice.

But the current Su Yuan… was “rich”!

Putting down the star catalog of Flash Shining Sky Slash, Su Yuan’s gaze fell on another star catalog—

[Sword Above Nine Heavens]

[Grade: Epic]

[Element: Space]

[Introduction: Form nine layers of heavens on the weapon using space power. A single strike feels like the nine heavens are crushing down, annihilating everything]

[Battle Merit: 1.4w]

1.4w battle merits, not only breaking ten thousand but exceeding by 4k. The extras alone were more expensive than the Star Dominator!

It was one of the most merit-intensive star skills on the entire third floor!

Although the price for each additional bit of power increased greatly, this 1.4w was indeed quite expensive.

But expensive for a reason.

As Su Yuan carefully read through the star catalog of Sword Above Nine Heavens, the unparalleled epic-level power needed no further explanation. The charging speed, flexibility, attack range, and star power consumption, all had no weaknesses, unlike Shuokong Dance.

“This is it!”

Without much hesitation, Su Yuan directly took out the black card and placed it on the star catalog, redeeming [Sword Above Nine Heavens].

Soon, a purple light fell from the planetarium above into Su Yuan’s hand, and he carefully stored it away.

After all, it was a treasure worth over ten thousand battle merits!

“Still have more than 6k battle merits left…” Su Yuan pondered.

This trip to the Southern Continent might take a long time. There might not be another chance to accumulate or use battle merits in the short term, so he had to spend them all.

Now star artifacts and skills were already difficult to improve further. Where else could there be an improvement? It was the array!

A fully activated Fifth Level Array was almost equivalent to a perfected epic skill.

For example, the Five Thunders Heavenly Gang Formation possessed tremendous power. Combined with Qingming Realm as its foundation, it could almost be used as a regular means.

Now the Phoenix Vein was even stronger than an ordinary wolf-level star vein. Not to mention one Five Thunders Heavenly Gang Formation, even if all the remaining four subspaces were filled with arrays, it would still be sufficient!

Therefore, the remaining 6k battle merits could be used to find another powerful Fifth Level Array.

The arrays on the third floor started from 5k. Su Yuan initially thought it would be difficult to find a suitable array.

But not long after walking, he found an array that caught his eye—the Nine Dragon Locking Yang Array.

Once set up, it would form nine sun-locking fire pools. By hunting creatures and plundering their yang energy, it condenses Sun-devouring Flame Dragons, which burn both the flesh and soul. The power was immense. Once all nine dragons were formed, anything under the Radiant Moon would be incinerated upon touch!

“Burn upon touch under the Radiant Moon. Although exaggerated, the power is likely strong enough…”

After slight consideration, Su Yuan redeemed this array.

First, the Demon Soul was about to recover. With this fire element array as the main stage, its strength would greatly increase.

Faced with a formidable enemy, Su Yuan could even directly pull the opponent into the Qingming Realm for the Demon Soul to deal with.

Secondly, the array could cause spiritual damage.

As of now, he had no spiritual attack methods. Before seeking the Divine Thought Path for techniques, this array could perfectly supplement this aspect, reducing disadvantages when facing enemies skilled in spiritual attacks.

Setting up this array required nine Level 4 materials, “Soul Yang Stones.”

In the past, finding so many Soul Yang Stones might have been challenging.

But now, with the Tiger Vein Contest over, the Sky Patrol Department had brought back many materials from the New Dust Realm, including plenty of Soul Yang Stones.

Whether he exchanged them at the Military Supply Hall or traded with other envoys within the department, gathering them wouldn’t be difficult.

After exchanging the two items, Su Yuan had only a few hundred battle merits left and directly left the Star Storage Hall.

“I really want to know what he exchanged for!” Jiang Lang watched Su Yuan leave with an itch in his heart.

Over the past year, Jiang Lang had witnessed Su Yuan’s climb from obscurity to his current status. Compared to others, Jiang Lang paid more attention to Su Yuan.

However, the exchanges on the third floor were beyond Jiang Lang’s authority. They were checked by the Star Storage Hall Envoy. No matter how curious Jiang Lang was, he couldn’t see them…

Next, Su Yuan set up the Nine Dragon Soul Yang Array in Subspace No. 2 while extracting grandmaster-level array knowledge from the Scripture Hall.

Half a month quickly passed.

On this day, in Zhu Yuan, Su Yuan sat cross-legged in the cultivation room with his eyes closed, a demon saber quietly lying on his knees.

Suddenly, the demon saber flashed red, and a large amount of blood-red light began to surge strongly.

Su Yuan opened his eyes, flicked the demon saber with his left hand, and instantly, numerous crimson lights surged from the saber, converging in front to form a Su Yuan in a red robe.

“Hey, long time no see!” The Demon Soul smiled.

Su Yuan nodded and said, “Welcome back.”

Su Yuan caressed the demon saber, and with a thought, a large amount of memory was synchronized over.

The Demon Soul closed its eyes slightly. After a long while, when it reopened them, it already understood the entire process of the Tiger Vein Contest.

“To think I missed such a big battle…” The Demon Soul shook its head, then smirked, “But going to the Southern Continent next seems even more interesting.”

Su Yuan’s ring flashed, and a large amount of red flames flew out, landing in front of the Demon Soul, transforming into a red fire silk.

“This is the Fire Element Star Artifact I made for you.” Su Yuan said.

“Oh?” The Demon Soul’s eyes brightened, grasping the red fire silk in its hand.

This fire silk alternated between illusion and reality, covered in golden patterns. It could attack, defend, bind enemies, and was exceptionally flexible in length and size.

Just a few trials, the Demon Soul fully understood its functions, eyes glinting with excitement.

“‘Flame Luo Ling,’ is it? Excellent!”

For the Demon Soul, who had many attack methods, this versatile and flexible star artifact could naturally greatly supplement other aspects!

With a thought, the Demon Soul absorbed the Flame Luo Ling into its body.

Su Yuan said, “Now we just have to wait for the Heavenly Lock to be reforged.”

“Good!” The Demon Soul smirked, “Southern Continent… I can’t wait to test this Flame Luo Ling!”

With black flames swirling in its eyes, the Demon Soul transformed back into crimson light and re-entered the demon saber on Su Yuan’s knees…

In a flash, nearly half a month passed again.

Su Yuan successfully gathered nine Soul Yang Stones and set up the Nine Dragon Locking Yang Array.

When activated, the array formed nine sun-locking fire pools centered around the nine Soul Yang Stones.

However, since no creatures had died within, the array had yet to demonstrate its power…
