Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1268: Chapter 1044: Methods of Advancement

The next day, Mo Fei and Antonios returned to the Qingming Realm to continue their cultivation.

After the breakthrough, Su Yuan stayed at home to relax and rest, and to spend a few good days with his parents.

Ruan Ruan and Ashley cheered up Tang Shiyang over these two days, making her very happy and joyful.

On this day, Su Yuan was cuddling the slime, Ruan Ruan, while accompanying his father, Su Yang, in a game of chess.

Next to them, Ashley and Tang Shiyang were watching the game intently.

However, at this moment, Su Yang was frowning and constantly stroking his chin, seemingly caught in a dilemma.

”Brother Yang, try this move...” Seeing Su Yang hesitating, Tang Shiyang couldn’t help but chime in.

Su Yang’s eyes suddenly brightened at her suggestion. He pretended to ponder for two seconds before making the move, saying:

”Honey, speaking out while watching chess is not gentlemanly. I had actually thought of this move a while ago; I was just reflecting on it!”

”In denial...” Tang Shiyang snorted coldly, ”You’re no match for Little Yuan. Why don’t you have him give you a rook?”

Initially, Su Yuan intended to let his old man win.

But alas, Su Yang believed he was quite skilled and full of confidence, especially with the ladies in the family watching, forcing Su Yuan to go all out!

As a result, until now, he had lost three games in a row, and this was the fourth.

Even though Su Yuan was not adept at chess and lacked technique, as a King Level expert, his calculation abilities far exceeded those of ordinary people... dealing with ordinary people was simply lowering dimensions of attack.

Watching his old man get frustrated was indeed quite amusing for Su Yuan, who decidedly made no concessions~

At this moment, just as Su Yuan was about to make a move, he suddenly sensed something, his eyes sparkling. After a quick glance over the chessboard, he placed down his piece.

”Hey!” Su Yang’s face lit up with joy as he immediately followed with a move, ”Son, you fell into my trap!”

It turned out that the move Su Yuan made was right where Su Yang had set a trap.

With just a few moves, Su Yang seized the opportunity and dramatically reversed the situation, eventually claiming victory.

Indeed, among ordinary people, Su Yang’s chess skills were remarkably high.

”Finally won!” Su Yang laughed heartily, his face full of excitement.

Su Yuan sighed, shook his head and said, ”A single careless move, and defeat follows, Dad you’re impressive!”

Su Yang proudly replied, ”Of course, I am unmatched in the community; it’s no joke...”

”Alright, alright,” Tang Shiyang interrupted, unimpressed, ”The son let you win, and now you’re getting carried away!”

”Let? He didn’t let at all!” Su Yang rolled his eyes, ready to say more.

Su Yuan quickly laughed and said, ”No, indeed Dad’s chess skills are exceptional!”

Ashley also added, ”I didn’t notice Uncle Yang’s trick either, didn’t expect the boss to lose like this, Uncle really is remarkable.”

Ruan Ruan: ”Puchi puchi!”

Hearing Ashley and Ruan Ruan’s praise, Su Yang’s expression improved again.

Su Yuan stood up and handed Ruan Ruan over to Ashley, smiling and saying: ”I have something to attend to, Ashley, keep my dad company for a while.”

”Alright, boss.”

Ashley sat in Su Yuan’s seat, feeling the lingering warmth beneath her, her face faintly flushed...

Returning to his bedroom, Su Yuan entered the Qingming Realm.

”System!”

Su Yuan called out in his mind.

The system panel immediately appeared before him.

Su Yuan scrolled directly to the bottom...

Sure enough, the skill in development had evolved!

[Unnamed Skill 1]

[Grade: Third Grade]

[Introduction: Instantly condenses wind, fire, and thunder elements at the fingertip, utilizing the fierce reaction of the three elements to create a high explosive single-target attack instantly!]

”To actually be a Third Grade Skill!”

Su Yuan’s eyes sparkled with surprise.

Though it’s not that a third-level skill is particularly important to Su Yuan, the development capability of the system skill module is extremely impressive!

Su Yuan estimated that if he were to create this skill himself, he could perhaps complete it in days, but it would probably be at a second-grade level.

To meticulously refine it from second grade to third grade, it might take half a month to a month, maybe not even then!

”Looks like this skill module is like a computer, rapidly simulating almost all possibilities and finding the optimal solution at the fastest speed.”

From just a single test, Su Yuan had roughly figured out the function and efficiency of the new module, nodding secretly, quite satisfied with it.

”Then let’s give it a try.”

Su Yuan raised his right hand, the fragments of the wind, fire, and thunder laws within the Star Sea Origin began to glow, and then Star Power transformed into the elements of wind, fire, and thunder rushing out, following a meticulously designed perfect trajectory to converge at his fingertip.

Until it reached the fingertip, the elements of wind, fire, and thunder had largely fused; just a simple criss-crossing and they blended seamlessly.

Whether in terms of consumption, time, or stability... all reached an exceedingly meticulous level.

At this moment, Su Yuan’s right index finger seemed to have been energized, the wind, fire, and thunder silently gathered power, faintly unleashing a violent and unmatched aura!

As Su Yuan pointed out, a small hole appeared in the void before him.

But that wasn’t the end, outside the small hole, the wind, fire, and thunder suddenly illuminated to the extreme, black-gold-purple colored threads spread out like a spiderweb in all directions!

”Bang!”

With a muffled sound, a piece of the void in front of Su Yuan was directly blown into a void cavity by the blasting fusion of the three-element energy!

”Impressive...”

Su Yuan squinted slightly, his gaze resting on his right index finger.

Without using Space Power, the difficulty in destroying the void was several times higher.

This finger strike may have a limited range, but it was quick to charge, low in profile, and exceedingly explosive, making it very practical.

If using Divine Fire, Divine Wind, and Divine Thunder directly to execute... its power might approach ordinary Fourth Grade Skills!

According to Yang Yifeng’s previous words, Intermediate Skills roughly fall within the range of Divine Skills.

Fourth Grade Skills are already comparable to ordinary Divine Skills.

Sixth Grade Skills are considered top-tier Divine Skills.

As for Seventh Grade and above Advanced Skills, similar to the ’Pseudo Saint Artifact’ among Epic Star Devices, they transcend legend and approach myth.

Seventh Grade Skills, only a very few Legendary Skills can achieve, such as [Sword Control Thunder God].

As for Ninth Grade Skills... they might be comparable to myths.

Su Yuan was greatly satisfied and his gaze returned to the panel.

”Unnamed... It seems quite powerful, let’s call it Mutual Destruction Finger.”

[Confirm naming ’Unnamed Skill 1’ as ’Mutual Destruction Finger’?]

”Yes.”

The system panel briefly blurred, and then the new skill appeared below [Silver Cage].

[Mutual Destruction Finger]

[Grade: Third Stage]

[Introduction: Concentrates highly destructive three-element energy at the fingertip to cause instant super-high destructive power, no cooldown.]

[Upgrade: Space Law: (Level Three)]

”Can developed skills be upgraded afterward?”

Su Yuan’s eyes lit up; this was indeed a good thing.

Moreover, the requirement to upgrade with Level Three Space Law doesn’t seem too high.

After resting for several days, Su Yuan began his King Level cultivation.

Through the Origin-transformed King Level body, he sensed the laws of heaven and earth and comprehended their mysteries...

But unlike when he advanced to King Level, where accumulated momentum rapidly improved several percentage points of Space Law.

At this moment, wanting to comprehend the law again, the speed has slowed to the extreme.

In the blink of an eye, ten days or half a month passed.

Su Yuan awoke from his meditation of comprehension and experienced slightly before opening his eyes.

”System.” Su Yuan called out the system.

[Su Yuan]

[Level: King Level First Stage]

[...]

[Space Law: First Stage (4.1%)]

[Fire Law: First Stage (3%)]

[Wind Law: First Stage (2%)]

[Thunder Law: First Stage (2%)]

”4.1% huh, at least it’s some progress.” Su Yuan shook his head and smiled, ”If it weren’t for the Star Dust System, I wouldn’t even feel the progress in the power of the laws...”

In this way, the system is indeed helpful.

Compared to others, having the system allows me to clearly observe the growth of the power of the laws.

But this speed is really like a turtle crawl...

For the King Level, once the Origin is born, it’s no longer heavily dependent on how concentrated the Heaven and Earth Star Power is.

As long as the law grows, the realm ascends, and Star Power will naturally grow slowly.

Thus, the current Phoenix Vein provides almost no advantage for cultivation.

Even at the current speed, it would take at least more than ten years to grow to King Level Second Stage, not to mention that cultivation slows even further as it progresses.

Actually, relying on the powerful [Infinite Profound Phoenix] Soul Card, which enhances the clarity of sensing Space Power, Su Yuan’s cultivation speed in King Level is not slow.

But those who can cultivate to King Level are basically experts who evolved their Soul Card to Legend in the Burning Sun Stage.

Everyone being Legends, the gap is not that significant.

”I need to find a method for rapidly enhancing cultivation...”

Su Yuan pondered briefly, then got up and left the Qingming Realm.

In the living room, Ashley was helping Tang Shiyang organize teaching materials.

Soft was still within the Qingming Realm, making the final preparations for breaking through to King Level.

”Boss.” Ashley stood up as she saw Su Yuan come out.

Su Yuan nodded and said to Tang Shiyang, ”Mom, I’m heading to Yan Court first.”

”Alright, Little Yuan, be safe.”

Su Yuan smiled and shook his head, then immediately went out heading to Yan Court.

...

Vermilion Bird Hall.

Fang Qingxiao gestured for Su Yuan to sit beside him.

”I figured you’d come looking for me.” Fang Qingxiao smiled.

Su Yuan got straight to the point and said, ”Imperial Throne, is King Level cultivation really only this slow accumulation?”

”Of course not, if that were the case, all King Levels would have no desires or aspirations, finding a secluded mountain and staying closed off forever.”

Su Yuan’s eyes moved slightly, ”Please advise, Imperial Throne.”

Fang Qingxiao said gently, ”To accelerate King Level cultivation, there are usually three methods.

The first is a treasure that can directly absorb the power of laws.

If one’s own laws are the same as the treasure, refining the laws within will naturally enhance their own law progress.”

Su Yuan thought, the Tornado Mad Firefly obtained from killing the Curse King was just such a treasure.

Fang Qingxiao continued, ”The second method is elixirs.

Treasures capable of directly absorbing the power of heavenly laws are rare, and through alchemy, many treasures unable to directly enhance the power of laws can be utilized to create Fifth Level Law Saint Pills, allowing the law power within to be absorbed by the King Level!”

Su Yuan’s eyes moved, alchemy...

Speaking of which, although I later elevated my alchemy to the level of a Grandmaster, I never utilized it.

”Elixirs are the most common method, and Miracle Workshop’s Alchemy Hall has a multitude of researched alchemy recipes, significantly raising the utilization rate of Fifth Level treasures.

For me to reach my current level, aside from some opportunities, Miracle Workshop’s Holy Pills have been invaluable.”

Su Yuan nodded, once again recognizing the benefits of ’power.’”

If relying solely on oneself, even with the fortune to obtain a certain Fifth Level treasure, it might not be suitable, requiring exchange with others.

Even with good luck, acquiring the required treasure would still necessitate finding other Grandmasters of Alchemy to craft a Holy Pill...

This involves a considerable effort and cost, filled with unpredictability.

But in Great Flame, whether it’s Sky Patrol Department, Military Supervision Department, or Education Bureau...

No matter which department, as long as there are merits made, there’s a chance to obtain a suitable Law Saint Pill!
