Chapter 191: Requirements for Advancing to Fourth-Turn
"It feels completely effortless." Su Yu's lips curled into a smile.
To him, this Black Iron-grade Heavens Battlefield and the Common Grade Heavens Battlefield had no difference at all.
Whether they were ferocious beasts or testers, under his Lightning Domain, they were only destined to be killed in a single second.
Although there were third-turn professionals in the Black Iron-grade Heavens Battlefield,
their strength was too weak, and their attributes didn't even reach a fraction of Su Yu's, making them the weakest third-turn professionals.
Let alone Su Yu, if you casually picked a second-turn professional from the Blood Trial leaderboard, they could kill them in a single second.
It could be said that the gap in strength between professionals was extremely large.
It was even countless times greater than the gap between ordinary people and ants.
About half an hour later,
Su Yu's familiar system notification tone rang in his ears.
[Congratulations on taking the lead to obtain 1000 points and becoming the winner of this trial.]
At the same time, a system announcement rang in the ears of all surviving testers.
[Battlefield Announcement: Congratulations to Yu Huang, a tester from the Blue Star Civilization, for taking the lead to obtain 1000 points and becoming the winner of this trial. All testers will be automatically teleported out after 10 seconds.]
"Holy crap, where did this freak come from, actually obtaining 1000 points so quickly?"
"Blue Star Civilization? Never heard of it! The Heavens Battlefield prioritizes matching civilizations in the same star region. Could this be a newborn civilization?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. It's probably matched with a civilization from another star region."
"At the very least, it has to be a civilization on the Star Region Civilization Leaderboard to have the qualification to cultivate such a powerful professional, right?"
"Anyway, there is no Blue Star Civilization among the ten thousand civilizations on our Dark Moon Star Region Civilization Leaderboard."
...
On the other side, several system notifications rang in Su Yu's ears again.
[Congratulations on obtaining Intermediate Soul Liquid * 10.]
[Congratulations on obtaining reputation * 500.]
[Congratulations on obtaining 100 tier points and successfully promoting to the Bronze-grade Heavens Battlefield.]
"Not bad, not bad, 100 years of lifespan plus 500 points of reputation." Su Yu nodded with satisfaction.
This was just the Black Iron-grade Heavens Battlefield, and winning once could grant this much lifespan and reputation.
Then how generous would the rewards be for the subsequent Bronze-grade, silver grade, or even gold gradeHeavens Battlefield?
This instantly filled Su Yu's heart with anticipation.
The reputation he currently possessed had reached 9200 points, and he would soon be able to exchange for two god-grade talent flowers.
With only four more god-grade talent flowers lacking, he could upgrade the Infinite Growth talent to level 2.
Su Yu hovered in the void, quietly waiting to exit the battlefield.
After a while, a white light descended from the sky, and Su Yu's figure instantly disappeared in place.
Returning to the personal space of the Heavens Battlefield, Su Yu didn't stay; now he had to return to Yuhuang Mansion to comprehend the two True Intents.
...
Returning to Yuhuang Mansion, Su Yu simply sat down directly in the pavilion.
Anyway, Yuhuang Mansion was extremely quiet everywhere, with no one disturbing him, nor was there any possibility of being invaded by enemies; it was the same everywhere.
Su Yu took out the inheritance booklet of the True Intent of Thunder and simultaneously used an enlightenment point.
He instantly felt that his thinking operation speed skyrocketed, and his compatibility with the origin of the True Intent of Thunder also improved quite a bit.
Gathering his mind and soul, Su Yu opened the inheritance booklet of the True Intent of Thunder, completely immersing his attention into it.
...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the dawn of the ninth day.
During this period of time, Su Yu matched into the Heavens Battlefield twice more, and now his Heavens Battlefieldtier had reached silver grade with 50 tier points.
Yesterday he matched into a Bronze-grade Heavens Battlefield once, obtained 100 tier points, and directly promoted to a silver grade Heavens Battlefield.
Matching into the Bronze-grade Heavens Battlefieldrequired consuming 30 years of lifespan, which gave Su Yu30 bottles of Intermediate Soul Liquid and 1000 points of reputation.
Not long ago, Su Yu completed another silver gradeHeavens Battlefield match and obtained 50 tier points.
Matching into the silver grade Heavens Battlefieldrequired consuming 50 years of lifespan, which gave Su Yu50 bottles of Intermediate Soul Liquid and 1500 points of reputation.
In the silver grade Heavens Battlefield, all testers were third-turn professionals.
However, the strength of these third-turn professionals was extremely strong, and their total attributes definitely exceeded several hundred thousand points.
This meant that their life levels were not low.
However, with the blessing of Su Yu's two True Intents, no matter how strong these third-turn professionals were, they were not Su Yu's opponents.
After all, none of them had comprehended True Intent. Facing Su Yu, who had already comprehended True Intent, they completely had no power to fight back.
Their attacks bombarded Su Yu's body, unable to even break Su Yu's shield.
But Su Yu's attacks bombarded them, and even their high-tier life-saving trump cards could not block them.
With an absolute crushing advantage, Su Yu won the first silver grade Heavens Battlefield match.
"Winning another silver grade Heavens Battlefield match tomorrow will allow me to promote to the gold gradeHeavens Battlefield." Su Yu thought to himself.
Regarding the winning rewards of the Heavens Battlefield, Su Yu was quite satisfied.
He could easily harvest a large amount of lifespan and reputation.
It was just that as his Heavens Battlefield tier got higher and higher, he didn't know how strong opponents he would encounter later.
Perhaps it wouldn't be this easy by then.
"But why aren't there any fourth-turn professionals seen in the silver grade Heavens Battlefield?" Su Yu pondered thoughtfully.
Could it be that fourth-turn professionals were very rare?
Or were fourth-turn professionals not allowed to participate in low-tier Heavens Battlefield?
Su Yu didn't dwell on it and directly asked Xiaoyu this question.
Moments later, Xiaoyu's voice rang in Su Yu's ears.
"Master, there is a high probability that it's still because there are too few fourth-turn professionals."
"Oh? How so? Is it very difficult to promote to a fourth-turn professional?" Su Yu asked in confusion.
Xiaoyu immediately said, "Master, wanting to promote to a fourth-turn professional is extremely difficult. The vast majority of professionals will never have the opportunity in their lifetime to promote to a fourth-turn professional."
Su Yu was even more confused, "Can't you promote to a fourth-turn professional once you reach level 100? It's nothing more than spending a bit more time; reaching level 100 shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Xiaoyu said, "Master, promoting to a fourth-turn professional doesn't just have level as the only prerequisite requirement, oh."
"Wanting to promote to a fourth-turn professional requires meeting three prerequisites."
"First, the level reaches 100. This requirement is the easiest to achieve."
"Second, all attributes reach 10 stars. This requirement is the hardest to achieve."
"Let me explain what it means for all attributes to reach 10 stars."
"Raise the life level to level 10, and max out all attributes. This is what's called all attributes reaching 10 stars."
"Third, complete the professional fourth-turn quest."
Hearing this, a look of solemnity flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
Right now, his life level was only 7.1, and there was still a huge distance away from maxing out all attributes.
It seemed that even for him, wanting to promote to a fourth-turn professional was not that easy.
Chapter 192: Two Directions!
"Right, Xiaoyu, does maxing out all stats include the intelligence stat?" Su Yu asked curiously.
In the game of Immortality, there are a total of five attributes: strength, agility, constitution, spirit, and intelligence.
It's just that general physical classes basically never use the intelligence attribute.
The intelligence attribute increases magic attack power, which physical classes have no use for at all, so Su Yuusually ignored the intelligence attribute directly.
Xiaoyu replied: "Of course, all five attributes must be completely maxed out. As long as even one attribute doesn't keep up, you won't be able to condense an Attribute Star."
"For example, when the life level is below level 10, each level of life equals 100,000 points to the upper limit of all attributes."
"Only when all five attributes are raised above 100,000 points can you condense the first Attribute Star."
Su Yu asked with some puzzlement: "But the intelligence attribute is of no use to physical classes either. Isn't this just wasting free attribute points in vain?"
Xiaoyu replied: "You will know after you master True Intent skills."
"As for True Intent skills, they don't distinguish between so-called physical attack power and magic attack power; to them, they are all the same."
"In other words, the basic attack power of a True Intent skill is the sum of physical attack power and magic attack power."
"Therefore, there is no such thing as waste; they are all useful attributes."
Su Yu nodded thoughtfully.
Wanting to condense ten Attribute Stars requires all five attributes to reach 1 million points, which translated into gold coins is roughly 2.5 billion.
This is a terrifyingly huge number.
Even ignoring the attributes he currently has, there is still a gold coin gap of just over 2 billion at least.
"However, after the Civilization Arena ends, I should be able to condense ten Attribute Stars, right?" Su Yu thought to himself.
One and a half months later, the Civilization Arena will open.
Moreover, after the Civilization Arena opens, it certainly won't end in a short time.
He still has at least two months or more to use for condensing Attribute Stars.
With such a long time, Su Yu is quite confident in himself to condense ten Attribute Stars.
"And I am different from others. Most people can only rely on free attribute points to improve all attributes, but I can also rely on passive skills!" A flash of brilliant light crossed Su Yu's eyes.
He opened his skill panel, which displayed four newly learned passive skills.
Primary Strength Enhancement, Primary Agility Enhancement, Primary Constitution Enhancement, and Primary Spirit Enhancement.
Over these past two days, besides matching in the Heavens Battlefield once a day and comprehending two True Intents, he also made a trip to the Tianhai Treasure Pavilion to buy these four skill books.
At that time, he didn't know the importance of the intelligence attribute, so he didn't get the Primary Intelligence Enhancement skill book.
Now it seems he will have to make another trip to the Tianhai Treasure Pavilion to buy the Primary Intelligence Enhancement skill book as well.
In addition, he also went to see Wang Meng in the middle and collected the gold coins Wang Meng owed him previously.
According to Wang Meng, the Heavenly Blade Alliance is now considered a moderately-sized faction with decent development within Tianyuan City.
After all, Wang Meng has a King-class talent after all, and he's estimated to be able to rank within the top thousand in the entire Holy Dragon Empire.
"However, there's no rush to upgrade these four skill books right now, considering there is still such a large attribute gap." Su Yu thought to himself.
In these two days, he consumed more than twenty Dao Comprehension Points, which converted into skill points is over twenty thousand.
Now he has less than 80,000 skill points left, so the priority for upgrading skills should be pushed back a bit first.
He must prioritize ensuring he has enough Dao Comprehension Points to comprehend True Intents.
Su Yu opened his attribute panel, and the information in the True Intent column emerged before his eyes.
[True Intent: True Intent of Blood (Level 4, 15%), True Intent of Thunder (Level 5, 2%)]
The higher the True Intent level, the harder it is to improve.
Su Yu spent more than twenty Dao Comprehension Points and only barely raised the True Intent of Thunder to level 5 and the True Intent of Blood to level 4.
Although compared to the previous level 3, the improvement was huge.
But Su Yu was not satisfied with this; he felt it was still too slow.
However, he is not wealthy enough to use multiple Dao Comprehension Points simultaneously right now, so he can only patiently comprehend them slowly.
"Without a major fortuitous encounter, wanting to improve one's strength is truly too slow." Su Yu sighed with deep emotion in his heart.
Right now, if he wants to rapidly improve his strength, there are mainly two directions.
One is to improve all attributes, and the other is to raise the True Intent level.
As for upgrading ordinary attack-type skills, it actually doesn't hold much meaning anymore.
Under the blessing of True Intent, ordinary skill damage can be heavily resisted.
Only True Intent skills can counter True Intent.
Of course, Su Yu's skills have the blessing of true damage, making them somewhat more formidable than ordinary damage.
But in front of high-level True Intents, they still cannot play much of a role.
Only high-level True Intent can counter high-level True Intent.
Wanting to rapidly improve all attributes relies on gold coins on one hand, and passive skills on the other.
Wanting to rapidly raise the True Intent level relies on Dao Comprehension Points on one hand, and soul level on the other.
The higher the soul level, the faster the thinking speed runs, and naturally, the higher the efficiency of comprehending the origin of True Intent.
Using the same Dao Comprehension Point, a person with a higher soul level will naturally reap greater gains than a person with a lower soul level.
"Next, I will primarily work hard towards these two directions."
"First, upgrade the Endless Growth talent to increase the efficiency of acquiring skill points, while hunting a large number of monsters of the same level to reap a massive amount of skill points."
"Second, find rare treasures that can raise the life level and soul level."
A flash of brilliant light crossed Su Yu's eyes.
Wanting to advance to a Tier 4 professional, the life level must be raised to at least level 10.
Skill points can raise the level of passive skills that increase attributes, and can also be converted into Dao Comprehension Points to enhance the efficiency of comprehending True Intents.
Rare treasures that elevate the soul level are likewise intended to enhance the efficiency of comprehending True Intents.
In the later stages, the role of True Intent is extremely massive.
Attributes can only determine a professional's lower limit, whereas True Intent can determine a professional's upper limit!
"It will be dawn soon, and the Main City Clash event is about to start. Hopefully, the clash quests can be a bit more reliable."
"I need to complete the first phase of the Main City Clashevent as soon as possible."
"Only in this way can I have hope of completing the Tier 3 class advancement quest before the second phase begins." Su Yu clenched his fists.
Right now, his schedule is extremely tight, and he cannot afford any mistakes in every single phase.
About one and a half months later, the Civilization Arenaopens.
Within this one and a half months, he has to complete the Main City Clash event, the Tier 3 class advancement quest, and the Endless Sea advanced challenge.
The Endless Sea advanced challenge alone takes a month's time, leaving him with very little time remaining.
The flow of time in the Endless Sea is the same as the outside world.
This means Su Yu must reserve one month of time for the Endless Sea advanced assessment.
The Endless Sea advanced assessment involves the Blood God Trial III quest and the second phase of the Shadow God Archer advancement quest.
Completing the Endless Sea advanced assessment can vastly enhance his strength.
This will be of immense help for him to secure first place in the Civilization Arena.
Chapter 193: Main City Clash Begins!
Su Yu silently pondered his upcoming development direction.
Suddenly, the blood-red moon in the sky vanished abruptly, the endless darkness receded, the sun rose, and sunlight spilled across the earth.
"Huh? It's dawn." A trace of anticipation flashed through Su Yu's eyes.
The Main City Clash event was about to begin, and he couldn't wait to know the content of the clash task.
He hoped it would preferably be a monster-killing task, as only monster-killing tasks could fully showcase his advantages.
With his monster-killing efficiency, even if everyone in another entire main city added together, their efficiency wouldn't be as high as his.
This was the clash task that could best leverage his advantages.
Suddenly, a world announcement resounded in everyone's ears.
[World Announcement: The Main City Clash event has officially begun. During the event, no one can change their main city, and the function to teleport to other main cities will also be temporarily disabled.]
A moment later, a system prompt sounded in Su Yu's ear once again.
[Main city matching successful!]
[Your affiliated Tianyuan City in the Holy Dragon Empirehas successfully matched with Qiushui City in the Sakura Kingdom!]
[Clash Task Rules: The faction among the two cities that first has 100,000 people reach Level 30 will be the winner.]
[The winner's main city will have its wild monster resources increased by 100%, while the loser's main city will have its wild monster resources reduced by 50%.]
[Notice: The 100,000 people from the winning side who reach Level 30 first will receive additional rewards based on their order of completion.]
As soon as the announcement for the Main City Clashevent came out, the main city chat channel of Tianyuan City instantly boiled over.
"Hahaha, isn't an upgrade task a guaranteed win for us?"
"That's right, we still have a 200% experience bonus right now. Can those Japanese folks' leveling speed compare to ours?"
"We've had the experience bonus since the second night, and our overall levels are far ahead of the Japanese. I can't think of a reason to lose."
"Hahaha, thank you, Bigshot Yu Huang, for directly letting us win effortlessly."
"I heard that Bigshot Yu Huang is right here in Tianyuan City. Is that true or false?"
"100% authentic, I saw Bigshot Yu Huang's back with my own eyes. That back... was simply too dashing."
"Keep it up, keep working hard to level up. The first 100,000 people to reach Level 30 will all get rewards."
...
Meanwhile, the main city chat channel of Qiushui City in the Sakura Kingdom also instantly boiled over.
"Baka! Isn't this obviously bullying people?"
"Players from the Holy Dragon Empire have an experience bonus, what are we supposed to use to compare with them? How is this even playable?"
"It's over, it's over. Our Qiushui City is probably going to lose this Main City Clash event."
"Wild monster resources reduced by 50%... Then our leveling will be even slower in the future. Isn't this a vicious cycle?"
"Why is Yu Huang leveling fast, and the entire Holy Dragon Empire gets an experience bonus? I refuse to accept this!"
"More than half of the current world level rankings are people from the Holy Dragon Empire. What the hell is there even to play?"
Qiushui City's chat channel was filled with despair and dissatisfaction, and morale had plummeted to the absolute extreme.
Making them compare leveling speeds with the main city of the Holy Dragon Empire was truly incomparable.
Right at this moment, a golden pinned message appeared in Qiushui City's chat channel.
[Main City Announcement: Starting from this moment, Qiushui City enters a wartime state. Only designated players are allowed to enter and exit freely.]
"Holy crap, what is going on? Why won't you let me out of the city?"
"What's going on? You won't even let us out of the city, how are we supposed to level up!"
Right at this moment, a highlighted message appeared in everyone's eyes. The speaker's nickname was Miyamoto Keiichi, currently the undisputed number one person in Qiushui City!
"Brothers of Qiushui City, everyone pause for a moment. Next, listen to my arrangements."
"Through my communication with the city lord of Qiushui City, next we will mobilize the power of the entire city, concentrate all resources, and first pull 100,000 people to Level 30."
"Although the players of the Holy Dragon Empire have an experience bonus, they also have a lot of people. If we concentrate our resources, we can actually level up faster than them."
"Furthermore, brothers whose leveling is temporarily delayed don't need to worry either. After we win, wild monster resources will surge, and by then we can let the high-level brothers carry you guys in leveling up."
"We are a collective; when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer!"
"Remember, this is not a battle for a single person, this is the glory of our entire Qiushui City. If anyone dares to disobey the arrangements, don't blame me, Miyamoto Keiichi, for being impolite."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in Qiushui City changed instantly.
"Lord Miyamoto is right! For Qiushui City, I am willing to obey the arrangements!"
"Right, right, right! Let's concentrate resources and pull off a big one!"
"Qiushui City will definitely win!"
For a moment, Qiushui City's morale was actually forcibly pulled back up, and many players reignited their fighting spirit.
...
Tianyuan City.
Su Yu looked at the rules of the clash task with some helplessness; this task seemingly couldn't showcase his advantages.
Although he could also carry people to level up, a team could have a maximum of only five people. Relative to 100,000 people, it was simply a drop in the bucket.
"Let's first ask the City Lord if he has any good suggestions." Su Yu shook his head.
Su Yu sent a message to the City Lord of Tianyuan.
A moment later, the City Lord of Tianyuan gave his own suggestion.
Su Yu looked at the reply from the City Lord of Tianyuan, and a trace of joy flashed through his eyes. It seemed this plan was feasible, and with his strength, things shouldn't go wrong.
The plan of the City Lord of Tianyuan was very simple, and that was to trigger the Monster Siege in advance.
Normally speaking, every main city could trigger a Monster Siege once. After surviving it, it could increase the wild monster resources near the main city and raise the tier of the main city core.
The higher the tier of the main city core, the stronger the defense capability of the main city would be.
At the same time, once the tier of the main city core reached a certain level, some special buildings would also be unlocked.
However, generally speaking, triggering a Monster Siege required waiting until at least the majority of players upgraded their tier to Second Promotion.
Among them, the number of Third Promotion players needed to reach at least tens of thousands.
During the process of the Monster Siege, NPCs were not allowed to make a move. If the players couldn't withstand the Monster Siege, the entire main city would turn into ruins.
Therefore, the risk was extremely high. Generally, people just waited until the time arrived for the Monster Siege to trigger automatically.
The time for the Monster Siege to trigger automatically was three and a half months after the game's descent, completely providing ample time for players to develop.
"Triggering the Monster Siege in advance—during the Monster Siege, the Legion Mode can be activated."
"A legion can support up to 200,000 players joining at the same time. Players in the same legion evenly share all experience values gained from killing monsters."
"This way, I can carry 100,000 people to level up at the same time." Su Yu hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile.
This suggestion from the City Lord of Tianyuan happened to fully showcase his advantages.
Moreover, taking advantage of the fact that everyone still had a 200% experience bonus on them today, activating the Monster Siege could also maximize the returns.
Chapter 194: Monster Siege!
After agreeing on the details with the City Lord of Tianyuan, Su Yu left Yuhuang Mansion and hurried toward Tianyuan City's North Gate.
The gate closest to Yuhuang Mansion was the North Gate.
Although monsters would appear at all four gates once the Monster Siege began,
there were teleportation formations at all four gates, so Su Yu could easily switch between them quickly.
Furthermore, Tianyuan City itself possessed a city-protecting formation, so even if Su Yu switched a bit slowly, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.
The city-protecting formation was far from fragile.
Besides, once Tianyuan City weathered this Monster Siege, the city-protecting formation would become even more powerful in the future.
Just as Su Yu was heading toward the North Gate, the City Lord of Tianyuan took the opportunity to initiate the Monster Siege.
A Main City Announcement resounded in the ears of all players in Tianyuan City.
[Main City Announcement: Monster Siege has begun. Monsters will officially spawn in 10 minutes. All players please form parties or join a legion as soon as possible to defend. Once Tianyuan City is breached by monsters, it will turn into ruins.]
As soon as the Main City Announcement was issued, the Main City chat channel of Tianyuan City instantly burst into activity.
"What the heck? Why is there a Monster Siege?"
"I don't know. I asked friends in other main cities, and none of them have started a Monster Siege."
"Could it be that only our Tianyuan City triggered a Monster Siege? What's going on?"
"Go, go, go! Quickly head to the city gates to defend against the monsters! If Tianyuan City is reduced to ruins, we're finished!"
"Yeah, if Tianyuan City turns into ruins, we'll definitely be killed by the Night Hunters tonight."
"Who knows how strong the monsters are? Can we even defend it right now?"
"..."
Messages flooded the main city chat channel of Tianyuan City at a crazy speed when suddenly another Main City Announcement rang out.
[Main City Announcement: Yu Huang has created the City Guard Legion. All players are welcome to join. Joining the City Guard Legion requires signing a contract agreeing not to leave Tianyuan City citizenship for three years.]
[Note: The legion capacity is limited to 100,000 members, first come, first served! Only players below Level 30 are allowed to join. Once you reach Level 30, you will automatically leave the legion!]
"Holy crap! Big boss Yu Huang is actually in our Tianyuan City!"
"Join, join! I've already joined the City Guard Legion!"
"Why are we not allowed to leave Tianyuan Citycitizenship for three years? Is there a trap here?"
"What trap? Big boss Yu Huang is in Tianyuan City! Even without this restriction, I wouldn't give up my Tianyuan City citizenship anyway."
"Indeed. Rumor has it that each main city has a limited capacity. In the future, other players won't even get the chance to join Tianyuan City."
"Holy crap, how is the legion already full?! Where have you guys been training your hand speed every day?"
"Hehehe, it's obvious big boss Yu Huang is planning to carry us in leveling up! Didn't you notice the legion capacity happens to be exactly 100,000?"
"Damn it, you're right! I hesitated for just a second and missed a massive opportunity!"
"Hahaha! I just reached Level 10 yesterday and entered the main city. Am I going to instantly boost to Level 30 today?"
For a time, some rejoiced while others lamented. After all, this was a chance to rapidly level up to Level 30.
Besides, in the Main City Rivalry Event, the first 100,000 players to reach Level 30 would receive extra rewards.
To miss out on such a fantastic opportunity was truly painful.
...
On the other side, Su Yu briefly glanced over the list of 100,000 members in the legion.
The higher-level ones were in their twenties, while the lower-level ones were barely Level 10, but it wasn't a big problem.
With a massive amount of high-level monsters and a 200% EXP boost, even Level 10 players could quickly reach Level 30.
After all, once a player reached Level 30, they would be automatically kicked from the legion, reducing the number of people splitting the EXP.
In any case, the goal was to quickly assemble 100,000 players who reached Level 30 to complete the Main City Clash quest.
"After boosting the first batch of 100,000 players, if there are leftover monsters, I'll carry a few more batches," Su Yuthought to himself.
After all, he had already reserved the position of Vice City Lord of Tianyuan. The stronger Tianyuan City became, the greater his future benefits would be.
The reason he made everyone who joined the legion sign a contract prohibiting them from leaving their Tianyuan Citycitizenship for three years was also for the benefit of Tianyuan City.
At least during these three years, remaining in Tianyuan City meant they would generate a continuous stream of revenue for it.
As for three years later, when they saw Tianyuan Citygrowing stronger and stronger, they certainly wouldn't want to give up their citizenship anyway.
Soon, Su Yu arrived atop the city wall of the North Gate.
Normally, players were not allowed on the city wall, but the City Lord of Tianyuan had long given Su Yu the green light, so no one dared stop him.
Su Yu stood on the city wall, where the view was excellent.
He gazed into the distance; everything was still peaceful and quiet for now.
The density of wild monsters outside the safe zone wasn't high, and the monsters attacking the city had not yet spawned.
At the same time, teams began gathering outside the city gate, all organized by various player factions within Tianyuan City.
Su Yu didn't make unified arrangements for the members of the City Guard Legion, simply letting them do as they pleased.
After all, in Su Yu's eyes, he alone was enough to deal with this wave of Monster Siege; everyone else was just there to make up the numbers.
Given the strength of most players, they probably couldn't even break through the monsters' defense.
Suddenly, massive pillars of light descended from the sky.
As the pillars of light dissipated, ferocious-looking monsters quietly emerged and charged toward Tianyuan City.
"The monsters have spawned!" Exclamations rang out from the dense crowd outside Tianyuan City.
The safe zone outside Tianyuan City spanned several kilometers and was extremely flat.
The attacking monsters spawned right outside the safe zone, and with no obstructions, everyone could clearly see their information.
"Holy crap, why are they all Level 60 monsters? Is this game even playable?"
"Oh man, I'm only Level 15. How am I supposed to fight Level 60 monsters?"
"What do we do? What do we do? Can big boss Yu Huangalone really block so many monsters?"
"The sky is falling! If Tianyuan City can't hold out, we're all finished!"
"This Monster Siege was definitely manually initiated. After all, no other main city triggered one. If they didn't have absolute confidence, I believe the higher-ups of Tianyuan City wouldn't have done this."
"True. At this point, all we can do is trust in big boss Yu Huang's strength!"
High atop the city wall of Tianyuan City, Su Yu quietly watched the monsters several kilometers away.
The monsters were still continuously spawning, so he decided to wait until there were more before making a move.
Soon, the frontmost monsters were less than two kilometers from Tianyuan City's gate.
Behind Su Yu's back, the Thunder Wings instantly unfolded.
Thunder Flash!
Whoosh!
Su Yu's figure instantly appeared in the very center of the monster tide.
With the enhancement of the True Intent of Thunder, Su Yu's Thunder Flash could now teleport him nearly ten kilometers.
Boom!
Su Yu instantly activated the True Intent of Thunder, expanding the radius of his Lightning Domain from sixty meters straight to five kilometers!
In an instant, countless wails merged into a single chorus of agony.
Under the coverage of the Lightning Domain, all monsters within five kilometers around Su Yu turned into charred corpses.
Chapter 195: Tianyuan City's Victory!
Seeing this scene, the dense crowd of players outside Tianyuan City instantly erupted in excitement.
"Holy crap! Is this the strength of Boss Yu Huang?"
"This... this damage is just too heaven-defying!"
"Clearing out such a massive area with a single move, is he even human?"
"These are Level 60 monsters! And they couldn't even withstand a single blow from Boss Yu Huang!"
"No wonder the higher-ups of Tianyuan City dared to initiate the Monster Siege. It turns out Boss Yu Huang's strength has already reached such an unimaginable level."
"Hahaha, I leveled up! Thank you for the gift, Boss Yu Huang!"
"This is awesome! Luckily, I was quick enough to join Boss Yu Huang's City Guard Legion. I'm literally getting carried to victory!"
...
"Not bad. The soul power consumed isn't too much, still within acceptable limits." A smile tugged at the corner of Su Yu's mouth.
Under normal circumstances, the attack radius of the Lightning Domain is sixty meters. Attacking enemies within this range only consumes Mana.
However, after activating the True Intent of Thunder to expand the radius of the Lightning Domain, attacking enemies outside this range requires an additional consumption of soul power.
The more enemies there are, the more soul power is consumed.
If he also wanted to inflict additional damage on the enemies, the consumption of soul power would increase even further.
However, the base damage of the Lightning Domain was already sufficient.
Su Yu didn't need to inflict additional damage on the enemies, which drastically reduced his consumption of soul power.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The monster battlefront stretched for dozens of kilometers. Activating Thunder Flash, Su Yu pushed forward to both sides, and in no time, he had completely cleared out all the monsters at the North Gate.
Although the monsters were still spawning endlessly, it would take some time for them to reach the city gates again.
Taking advantage of this window, Su Yu used Thunder Flash to instantly return to the North Gate.
Then, using the teleportation array at the North Gate, he headed to the South Gate.
Arriving at the South Gate, Su Yu found that the monsters were still over a kilometer away from the gate, so there was plenty of time.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Following the same method, Su Yu activated Thunder Flash and the Lightning Domain, completely clearing out the monsters at the South Gate in a short while.
After clearing the South Gate, Su Yu immediately rushed to the East Gate.
When he arrived at the East Gate, the monsters still had a buffer distance of about one kilometer from the gate, which was still well under control.
Familiar with the process, Su Yu cleared out the monsters at the East Gate and then rushed to the West Gate without stopping.
In this manner, he constantly switched between the four city gates, frantically clearing out the monsters at each one.
As time passed, the level of the monsters grew higher, and the number of elite monsters and bosses also continued to rise.
However, under Su Yu's terrifying damage output, the vast majority of the monsters still couldn't withstand the base damage of the Lightning Domain.
If he encountered a boss that the Lightning Domaincouldn't insta-kill, Su Yu would follow up with a Blood Gods Eye.
No matter how powerful the boss was, before the Blood Gods Eye, they could only be instantly killed.
...
"Too strong! Boss Yu Huang is suppressing all four city gates all by himself!"
"There are only a little over ten thousand people left in the City Guard Legion now; we'll be able to complete the Main City Rivalry Event very soon."
"Awesome! We're totally getting carried by Boss Yu Huangthis time."
"I never dreamed that I would see the day when I could level up this fast."
"I'm so jealous. If I had known, I wouldn't have hesitated. I hesitated for just a second, and the slots for the City Guard Legion were already full."
"Serves you right. I blindly believed in Boss Yu Huang from the start."
"Hahaha, now my level can be ranked in the top one hundred thousand in the entire Blue Star Civilization."
"So this is what it feels like to ride someone's coattails. This is too awesome!"
"Maybe this is what they mean by 'when one person ascends to heaven, even their chickens and dogs rise to the sky'."
Tianyuan City's main city chat channel was bustling with excitement at this moment.
In less than twenty minutes, Tianyuan City gained over eighty thousand Level 30 players. What a terrifying efficiency.
It could be said that currently, of all the Level 30 players in the entire Blue Star Civilization, Tianyuan City alone accounted for over 99.99%.
Before long, a system notification rang in the ears of all players in Tianyuan City.
[Event Announcement: Congratulations to Tianyuan Cityfor being the first to complete the Rivalry Quest, defeating Qiushui City and becoming the victor of this Main City Rivalry Event.
As the winning side, Tianyuan City's wild monster resources will increase by 100%, and they will also gain qualification to enter the second stage of the Main City Rivalry Event.]
As soon as the event announcement came out, the entire main city chat channel of Tianyuan City instantly erupted.
"Hahaha, as expected of Boss Yu Huang! In just over twenty minutes, he helped our Tianyuan City gain an additional 99,999 Level 30 players."
"Is this the power of the absolute top player in the game 'Immortality'?"
"Thank you, Boss Yu Huang! You are like a second parent to me!"
"Boss Yu Huang is the only god in my heart, please take my knees."
"I bet those Japs on the other side are completely dumbfounded. It's only been a little over thirty minutes since the Rivalry Quest rules were announced; they probably just started leveling up."
"Hahaha, awesome! With wild resources increased by 100%, the strength of Tianyuan City's players will only get stronger and stronger from now on."
"From now on, if Boss Yu Huang tells me to go east, I will never go west. I will follow Boss Yu Huang's commands in everything."
...
At the same time, a system notification also rang in the ears of all players in Qiushui City.
[Event Announcement: Congratulations to Tianyuan Cityfor being the first to complete the Rivalry Quest, defeating Qiushui City and becoming the victor of this Main City Rivalry Event.
As the losing side, Qiushui City's wild monster resources will be reduced by 50%, and they will lose the qualification to enter the second stage of the Main City Rivalry Event.]
As soon as the event announcement came out, all the players of Qiushui City were dumbfounded, and messages began to frantically flood the main city chat channel.
"Baka! Has the game 'Immortality' glitched out with a bug?"
"What the hell happened? It's only been half an hour, and you're telling me Tianyuan City has already completed the Rivalry Quest?"
"100,000 Level 30 players! Tianyuan City can gain 100,000 Level 30 players in just half an hour? Are you kidding me?"
"Bastard! I want to file a complaint! Dammit, someone is exploiting a bug!"
"This is too ridiculous! Are you sure this isn't a joke?"
"I refuse to accept this! This is too fucking unfair! We had just finished planning our arrangements, and they already won?"
"Shady business! There's definitely shady business going on! We've been set up!"
Chapter 196: The Monster Siege Ends!
"This... how is this possible?" Miyamoto Keiichi's eyes widened in sheer disbelief.
Just moments ago, he was still fantasizing that after he organized the players to defeat Tianyuan City, he might be able to secure an important position in Qiushui City.
[If you are reading this, please remember our domain name]
In the future, as long as Qiushui City developed, the benefits he would receive would definitely be massive.
But... he didn't expect reality to be so cruel.
They had only just finalized their plans, and their players hadn't even begun to leave the city to level up, yet the other side had already won.
You had to know, that was a whopping 100,000 Level 30 players!
In his original plan, concentrating their resources to gather 100,000 Level 30 players within ten days would have already been quite an achievement.
Yet, the other side had actually wrapped it up in just over half an hour. What... what the hell was going on?
...
Outside Tianyuan City.
Su Yu listened to the system notifications ringing in his ears and nodded with satisfaction. His hard work grinding monsters hadn't been in vain; effort always paid off.
Including the time spent waiting for the Monster Siege, it had only taken him a little over thirty minutes in total to complete the rivalry quest.
He had boosted 100,000 people to Level 30!
Although many of them weren't low-level to begin with, this was still an incredibly terrifying boosting efficiency.
"I didn't expect the extra reward for being the first to reach Level 30 to be just 200 free attribute points. Well, it's better than nothing," Su Yu muttered, shaking his head helplessly.
The first 100,000 players on the winning side to reach Level 30 would receive extra rewards based on their ranking.
For normal players, 200 free attribute points were indeed very good, but to Su Yu, it was practically nothing.
"The Monster Siege isn't over yet. Let's recruit another batch of people."
With a thought, Su Yu sent a message to the City Lord of Tianyuan.
He asked him to have someone adjust the City Guard Legion settings and, at the same time, release a main city announcement to notify the other players.
A moment later, the number of players in the City Guard Legion reached 100,000 once again.
"But the Monster Siege is probably drawing to a close. I wonder how many of these 100,000 people will manage to reach Level 30," Su Yu thought to himself.
Still, there was nothing to be done about it. Those who arrived late could only settle for the leftovers.
Of course, everyone competed for the spots based on their own capabilities. It was fair and square; if they couldn't grab a spot, they could only blame themselves.
A few minutes later.
The monsters outside Tianyuan City stopped spawning. When Su Yu killed the very last monster, a system notification rang in the ears of all players in Tianyuan City.
[Main City Announcement: The Monster Siege has ended. Congratulations to Tianyuan City for a successful defense. Special rewards: Tianyuan City Main City Core EXP +10,000, and all Tianyuan City players receive +100 free attribute points!]
"Thank you for your generosity, Boss Yu Huang! Hahaha, I got another 100 free attribute points for nothing!"
"This is great. Choosing to come to Tianyuan City is the best decision I've ever made in my life."
"Is this what the ancients meant by 'it's easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree'?"
"I reckon there are already 130,000 to 140,000 players in Tianyuan City who have reached Level 30. That is absolutely terrifying."
"All of this was brought to us by Boss Yu Huang. Boss Yu Huang is the eternal god in my heart."
"Thank you, Boss Yu Huang! I will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life."
Innumerable Tianyuan City players were abuzz with discussion, and messages flooded the Main City Chat Channel at a frantic pace.
From the start of the Monster Siege until now, excluding the first ten minutes of preparation, it had only been half an hour.
No one had expected that such a short half-hour could bring about such a massive transformation to Tianyuan City.
...
Outside Tianyuan City.
"It's finally over. I didn't expect that after half an hour of high-intensity combat, I would consume almost half of my soul power," Su Yu exhaled deeply.
Although the amount of soul power consumed each time wasn't much, it still couldn't withstand such high-frequency usage.
Many drops make an ocean, and before he knew it, almost half of his soul power had been depleted.
"It seems I still need to find a way to raise my soul power level as quickly as possible," Su Yu thought to himself.
A higher soul level would, on one hand, improve his endurance when using True Intent.
On the other hand, it would also increase his efficiency in comprehending True Intent.
As his True Intent of Thunder reached Level 5, Su Yu had gradually noticed a sharp drop in his comprehension efficiency.
Although enlightenment points could boost his comprehension efficiency, it was scaled based on his base comprehension efficiency.
Once his soul level increased, his base comprehension efficiency would also rise, which would in turn increase the efficiency boost provided by enlightenment points.
The soul level could be said to be the foundation of comprehending True Intent.
Only with a solid foundation could one progress quickly and steadily on the path of comprehending True Intent.
Just as Su Yu was lost in thought, a series of system notifications suddenly rang out in his ears.
[Congratulations on making an outstanding contribution during the Monster Siege. Your Tianyuan City Contribution Points +100,000.]
[Congratulations on making an outstanding contribution in the first phase of the Main City Rivalry Event. Your Tianyuan City Contribution Points +50,000.]
[Congratulations on completing the quest: Outstanding Contributor of Tianyuan City (Epic), obtaining +2,000,000 Gold Coins.]
"Huh, I don't even need to hand in the quest; the rewards were given directly," Su Yu said, somewhat surprised.
Previously, when he completed the Path of the Strongquest, he had to go to the City Lord of Tianyuan to hand it in.
However, Su Yu didn't dwell on it too much. After all, this was the City Lord of Tianyuan's territory, so it was normalfor the quest to be handed in automatically.
"Now, let's go and accept the final quest," Su Yu quickly made his decision.
Just as Su Yu was about to head to the City Lord's Mansion, the figure of the City Lord of Tianyuan instantly materialized beside him.
"Young friend Yu Huang, I have been watching your battle all this time," the City Lord of Tianyuan said, scanning Su Yu with a look of deep emotion in his voice.
"Originally, I thought we would have to activate the city-protecting formation. I didn't expect your strength to be even greater than I imagined."
"To think you could slaughter all those monsters so cleanly and swiftly."
"You didn't even use the city-protecting formation, which saved quite a bit of its energy."
Su Yu smiled faintly. "City Lord, you praise me too highly. It was just a minor trick."
The City Lord of Tianyuan waved his hand. "Your strength is obvious to all, young friend Yu Huang. But I won't take up any more of your time. I will issue the final quest to you now."
As his voice fell, a system notification rang in Su Yu's ears.
[Ding! The City Lord of Tianyuan has issued a quest to you.]
[Quest Name: Outstanding Contributor of Tianyuan CityII (Epic)!]
[Quest Requirement: Accumulate 200,000 Tianyuan CityContribution Points.]
[Quest Duration: 30 days.]
[Quest Reward: 2,000,000 Gold Coins.]
[Quest Penalty: None.]
Su Yu quickly scanned the quest details and accepted it immediately.
The City Lord of Tianyuan smiled and said, "Young friend Yu Huang, once the second phase of the Main City Rivalry Event concludes, I believe your Tianyuan City Contribution Points will definitely meet the criteria to become the Vice City Lord of Tianyuan."
Su Yu nodded. With his strength, as long as the quest for the second phase of the Main City Rivalry Event wasn't too bizarre, securing first place shouldn't be an issue.
When that time came, the Tianyuan City Contribution Points he would obtain would naturally not be few.
After issuing the quest, the City Lord of Tianyuan did not linger. With a flash of his figure, he vanished on the spot, leaving as quickly as he had arrived.
His surroundings fell quiet once more.
"Now, it's time to accept the Third Job Advancement Quest."
"I hope my Third Job Advancement Quest won't waste too much time. It would be troublesome if I missed the second phase of the Main City Rivalry Event," Su Yu murmured.
Subsequently, Su Yu used a Thunder Flash to return to the top of the city wall, dashing rapidly in the direction of the Job Advancement Hall.
Chapter 197: Qianyue Rising Star!
On the way, Su Yu glanced at the number of people in the City Guard Legion list, which had now dropped to less than fifty thousand.
"In other words, this wave of Monster Siege has directly given Tianyuan City more than 150,000 Level 30 players," Su Yu thought to himself.
It could be said that the overall strength of Tianyuan City's players now absolutely crushed the other main cities.
Over 150,000 Level 30 players, plus the 100 free attribute points rewarded to all Tianyuan City players after the successful defense against the Monster Siege just now.
Now, the overall strength of Tianyuan City's players was definitely the well-deserved number one among all main cities.
With a thought, Su Yu directly disbanded the City Guard Legion.
Generally speaking, the Legion Mode would only open during large-scale events.
Under Legion Mode, all dropped loot would automatically enter the Legion Space, to be distributed uniformly after the battle ended.
After distributing the loot, the legion could be disbanded.
However, the monsters spawned from the Monster Siegedid not drop any loot; only their experience points were much higher than normal monsters.
Since there was no loot to distribute, Su Yu could disband the legion directly.
"Although there was no loot from this wave of Monster Siege, I gained a whopping 33 million skill points. This is the biggest harvest this time," Su Yu smiled.
With these 33 million skill points, he didn't have to worry at all about not having enough enlightenment points in the short term.
Furthermore, he could spend a large number of skill points to upgrade passive skills that increased attributes.
This way, he could also max out all his attributes much faster.
Before long, Su Yu arrived at the entrance of the Job Advancement Hall.
Entering the Job Advancement Hall, he made his way familiarly to the Job Advancement Stele.
Su Yu placed both hands on the stele and closed his eyes.
"[Checking the level of player 'Yu Huang'...]"
"[Current player level: Level 60, meets the requirements to receive the Third Class Advancement Quest.]"
"[Generating Third Class Advancement Quest...]"
"[Quest has been issued!]"
"No teleportation stone? Does this mean my Third Class Advancement Quest doesn't require me to leave the Initial Continent?" Su Yu was delighted.
This meant that even if his Third Class Advancement Quest was extremely time-consuming, it would not affect his participation in the second stage of the Main City Rivalry Event.
This was absolutely great news for him.
Su Yu immediately opened his quest panel, and a line of eye-catching, bold red font caught his attention.
"[Third Class Advancement Quest: Qianyue Rising Star(God-grade)!]"
"[Quest Description: Raise your Heavens Battlefield rank to Star Grade.]"
"[Time Limit: 60 days.]"
"[Tip ①: Exceeding the time limit will result in automatic quest failure.]"
"[Tip ②: The shorter the completion time, the higher the completion rating, and the more bountiful the quest rewards.]"
"My Third Class Advancement Quest is actually to raise my Heavens Battlefield rank to Star Grade." A look of solemnity flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
One must know that the third-advancement professionals in the silver grade Heavens Battlefield already had over several hundred thousand points in all attributes.
Above the silver grade, there were still the gold grade and diamond-grade.
Su Yu seriously suspected that in the diamond-gradeHeavens Battlefield, there were at least fourth-advancement professionals who had comprehended True Intent.
To raise his Heavens Battlefield rank to Star Grade, he would probably have to win at least several matches in the diamond-grade, right?
To be honest, this difficulty was indeed not low, worthy of a God-grade quest.
Those who could advance to fourth-advancement professionals were, without exception, peerless geniuses.
After all, the hard requirement to advance to a fourth-advancement professional was to condense ten attribute stars, which meant that no fourth-advancement professional had a Life Level below 10.
For someone who could raise their Life Level to 10, their Soul Level naturally wouldn't be low either, so comprehending True Intent would be a matter of course.
Without the backing of a major power or heaven-defying opportunities, one would basically be stuck as a third-advancement professional for the rest of their life.
This was the most brutal reality of the Heavens and Myriad Realms!
"To advance to the Star Grade Heavens Battlefield as a second-advancement professional is only worthy of being called a Qianyue Rising Star?" Su Yu thought to himself.
Taken literally, completing this Third Class Advancement Quest would allow him to be called a rising star of the Qianyue Galaxy.
The Qianyue Galaxy had hundreds of Star Sectors, totaling tens of millions of civilizations.
Although becoming a rising star of a galaxy already surpassed countless professionals,
Su Yu held himself to a much higher standard.
He wanted to take first place in the Civilization Arena and become the number one in the entire Beiyun Star Domainand its hundreds of galaxies.
A mere rising star of the tiny Qianyue Galaxy was far from enough to satisfy Su Yu's appetite.
"I hope the Endless Sea Advanced Assessment can bring me enough surprises," a look of anticipation flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
In his plans, the Endless Sea Advanced Assessment was a very crucial part.
Both Blood God Trial III and the second stage of the Shadow God Archer Advancement Quest needed to be completed during this phase.
Once completed, he could unlock all the seals on the Blood Gods Eye, unlock the second seal of the Blood Gods Body, and obtain a full set of exclusive Shadow God Archerdefensive gear.
This would definitely bring a massive boost to his strength.
"I'll head to the Tianhai Treasure Pavilion first to get the Beginner Intelligence Enhancement skill book, then return to Yuhuang Mansion to upgrade my skills."
With a flash of his figure, Su Yu left the Job Advancement Hall and dashed toward the Tianhai Treasure Pavilion.
...
Ten-odd minutes later.
Su Yu returned to Yuhuang Mansion, sat in the pavilion, and opened his skill panel.
"I hope the special effects of these five Beginner Attribute Enhancement skills are decent," Su Yu prayed silently.
With over 33 million skill points on hand, he could easily upgrade the five Beginner Attribute Enhancement skills to Level 1000 or above.
Of course, whether he should upgrade them to such a high level mainly depended on the cost-effectiveness of their special effects.
With a thought, Su Yu directly upgraded all five of these Beginner Attribute Enhancement skills to Level 100.
It only cost him slightly over twenty-five thousand skill points, which was a mere drop in the bucket compared to his 33 million skill points.
After upgrading them, Su Yu immediately checked the attributes of the five Beginner Attribute Enhancementskills.
Chapter 198: All Attributes Skyrocket!
[Lv100 Primary Strength Enhancement (Common Grade): Passive Skill, Strength +1,000, Strength +50%.]
[Lv10 Trait: Strength +100, Strength +5%.]
[Lv20 Trait: Strength +200, Strength +6%.]
[Lv30 Trait: Strength +300, Strength +7%.]
...
[Lv100 Trait: Strength +1,000, Strength +14%.]
"The cost-effectiveness seems pretty good," Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
After upgrading Primary Strength Enhancement to level 100, it had provided him with a cumulative total of 6,500 Strength attribute points and a 145% percentage bonus to his Strength attribute.
As for the other four initial attribute enhancement skills, they were exactly the same as Primary Strength Enhancement, except for the different attribute types.
With just over 25,000 skill points, Su Yu's attributes instantly skyrocketed by a massive margin.
"At this rate, I won't need to exchange gold coins for free attribute points at all." A smile played on the corner of Su Yu's mouth.
The Super-God Level Talent was simply too unreasonable. It was practically turning decay into magic, saving him a massive amount of resources.
Under normal circumstances, Primary Strength Enhancement would at most provide 200 Strength attribute points and a 10% percentage bonus to the Strength attribute.
But for Su Yu, as long as he had enough skill points, Primary Strength Enhancement could provide almost infinite Strength attribute points and Strength attribute percentage bonuses.
If the limit of his attributes wasn't restricted by his life level, Su Yu could raise them to tens of millions in a matter of minutes.
With a thought, Su Yu upgraded all five Beginner Attribute Enhancement skills from level 100 to level 1,000 in one go.
It only cost him less than 2.5 million skill points in total.
The number of skill points Su Yu currently possessed was still over 30 million.
"I didn't expect raising all my stats to be such an easy task." Su Yu shook his head with a smile.
After upgrading the five Beginner Attribute Enhancementskills to level 1,000, they provided a total of 515,000 points to all attributes, along with a 5,950% percentage bonus to all attributes.
Even ignoring Su Yu's existing attributes, these five Beginner Attribute Enhancement skills could provide him with over 30 million points to all attributes.
Su Yu estimated that he would not be lacking in attributes for a very long time to come.
He hadn't expected that the attribute issue that had originally troubled him would be resolved so easily.
The harvest from this wave of the Monster Siege was truly immense, far exceeding his imagination.
The Monster Siege was originally meant for the tens of millions of people in the entire main city, but Su Yu had cleared it all by himself.
Under normal circumstances, if Su Yu wanted to obtain over 30 million skill points by grinding monsters in the wild, it would take him at least one or two years.
After all, given the density of monsters in the wild, killing tens of thousands of monsters a day would be his absolute limit.
It could be said that this wave of the Monster Siege had drastically accelerated his growth rate, making its value immeasurable.
"In the short term, I no longer have to worry about attributes and skill points."
"My next goals are to raise my life level and soul level, as well as comprehending two True Intents." A sharp light flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
Restricted by his level 7.1 life level, his attributes were currently locked at 710,000.
Only by raising his life level could he unlock a higher limit for his attributes.
"However, raising my life level won't be easy. I'll probably have to find a way after entering the Endless Sea." Su Yushook his head helplessly.
For a professional from a newly born civilization like him, the hardest part was obtaining all kinds of rare treasures.
Without the backing of a major power, everything had to be fought for on his own, and sometimes, he wouldn't even have the qualification to try.
If he hadn't obtained the Heavenly Dao Sprite, 'Xiao Yu', during the Blood Trial, he probably wouldn't even have had the chance to enter the Endless Sea.
"Since I have some free time right now, should I use that super treasure map?" Su Yu thought to himself.
The super treasure map was an epic-grade item; using it gave a high probability of obtaining an epic-grade resource.
Although ordinary epic-grade resources didn't hold much appeal for Su Yu now.
But it was still an epic-grade resource, and who knew, it might yield some special resource.
After all, grade didn't represent everything.
It wasn't always the case that higher-grade resources were more valuable; there were exceptions to everything.
"I might as well use it. There's no point in letting it gather dust in my inventory forever." Su Yu quickly made his decision.
If he didn't use it now, he probably wouldn't want to use it even more in the future.
After all, as his strength increased, the appeal of epic-grade resources would only continue to decrease.
Whoosh!
With a movement of his body, Su Yu turned into a streak of lightning, leaving the Yuhuang Mansion and speeding toward the outskirts of Tianyuan City.
...
The location recorded on the super treasure map was in a level 50 wild area, which was a full three thousand kilometers away from Tianyuan City.
However, Su Yu's movement speed had increased tremendously. With the boost from the Wings of the Thunder Emperor and the True Intent of Thunder, he moved at nearly three times the speed of sound.
Three thousand kilometers would only take about an hour.
About an hour later, guided by the super treasure map, Su Yu arrived at the corresponding location.
"Not bad. Exchanging an hour for an epic-grade resource is a pretty good deal." A smile played on the corner of Su Yu's mouth.
At the moment, apart from matchmaking in the Heavens Battlefield, his remaining time could only be used to comprehend True Intents.
However, the levels of his two True Intents were already quite high, so an hour wouldn't yield much progress.
It was better to come here and experience the joy of treasure hunting.
With a thought, the super treasure map instantly appeared in his hand.
Buzz!
In the next instant, the super treasure map transformed into a golden light and sank into the ground, as a golden treasure chest slowly materialized.
Click!
The golden treasure chest opened automatically, and an all-black key appeared in Su Yu's sight.
[Congratulations! You have obtained Snow Region Key*1.]
"What is this?" A trace of doubt flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
He took the sacred key out of his inventory and examined it carefully.
[Snow Region Key (Special): A key to enter the Snow Region. Can be used 10/10 times.]
"Xiao Yu, do you know what the Snow Region is?" Su Yuasked.
A moment later, Xiao Yu's voice rang in Su Yu's ear.
"Master, there is no information related to the Snow Region in the game database. It is highly likely a secret realm belonging to this Initial Continent."
"This kind of information, which only belongs to a specific region, is generally not recorded in the game database."
"Just like Master's Tianyuan City, no related information can be found in the game database either."
Su Yu asked curiously, "What is a secret realm?"
Xiao Yu explained, "Master, a secret realm is an independent space, but at the same time, it is attached to the Initial Continent, making it a part of the Initial Continent."
"Generally speaking, secret realms are not very large, and anything could appear inside them. It's even normal for some rare treasures to appear."
Su Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this. It seemed that this Snow Region was indeed worth exploring thoroughly.
If he was lucky enough to get some rare treasures that could raise his life level or soul level, he would hit the jackpot.
Chapter 199: Snow Region!
"I'll return to the city first, then explore the Snow Region," Su Yu thought to himself.
He was mainly worried that after exiting the Snow Region, he would appear at the location where he entered.
After all, this was the wilderness, and Night Hunters would appear once night fell.
If he died at the hands of a Night Hunter, there would be no chance of resurrection.
Su Yu didn't dare to gamble with his life; safety was his top priority.
Hum!
With a thought, Su Yu activated the Return Scroll in his inventory. A beam of white light descended from the sky, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.
...
Yuhuang Mansion.
Hum!
As space warped, Su Yu's figure instantly materialized.
Those who owned property in Tianyuan City could directly set their property as their return point and resurrection point, which saved Su Yu a lot of trouble.
"Now I can enter the Snow Region."
With a thought, Su Yu didn't hesitate at all and decisively activated the Snow Region Key in his inventory.
A beam of white light descended from the sky, and his figure instantly vanished from Yuhuang Mansion.
...
Snow Region.
Su Yu's figure quietly materialized amidst the swirling wind and snow.
"Is this the Snow Region?" Su Yu carefully surveyed his surroundings.
As far as the eye could see, there was hard ice everywhere, with snowflakes constantly falling from the sky.
In the far distance, ice mountains loomed indistinctly in the blizzard.
"Roar!"
A low beastly roar suddenly rang out.
Su Yu looked toward the source of the sound and saw a giant, snow-white wolf nearly four meters tall slowly stepping out from behind an ice hill.
Its icy blue eyes stared fixedly at Su Yu, as if assessing the strength of this intruder before it.
[Lv100 Snowy Region Ice Wolf (Common Grade)]
"It seems this Snow Region is not simple; even a random monster is level 100," Su Yu thought.
Level 100 was the limit of the Third Transition.
However, because the gap between the third and fourth transitions was immense, it was completely normal for level 100 normal monsters to have a several hundred or even thousand-fold difference in strength.
Just like Third Transition Professionals.
A Third Transition Professional could have ten thousand in all attributes, while another could have one million; yet both were still Third Transition Professionals. The difference in their strength was far more than a hundredfold.
The same applied to monsters.
Su Yu couldn't see the Snowy Region Ice Wolf's health through Inspection, which meant its strength had exceeded the maximum range of the skill.
After all, Inspection was originally just a temporary skill for beginners, so one couldn't expect too much from it.
"Roar!"
The Snowy Region Ice Wolf roared, instantly condensing Ice Crystal Armor around its body as it lunged straight at Su Yu.
Whoosh!
Su Yu drew his longbow into a full moon, and a Soul-Severing Arrow consuming a thousand times the mana instantly shot through the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In an instant, the Snowy Region Ice Wolf's health was completely depleted.
Boom!
Its massive body crashed heavily onto the ground from momentum, dragging a long trail behind it.
"About five hundred million health, its strength is indeed not weak," Su Yu smiled and shook his head.
For a normal monster to have around five hundred million health was already very impressive.
In the outside world, many level 60 BOSSes might not even have this much health.
Swish!
The Thunder Wings on Su Yu's back instantly unfolded, and he sped off in a random direction.
Along the way, he cleared out all kinds of minor monsters directly with his Lightning Domain.
With his current attributes, combined with the boost from the True Intent of Thunder, insta-killing the minor monsters here was extremely easy.
Although he came to the Snow Region this time to look for rare treasures, even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat.
One monster meant one skill point; accumulating them little by little would also yield a decent harvest.
About two hours later.
A massive, bottomless ice crevice appeared in front of Su Yu.
The ice walls on both sides were as straight as if they had been sliced by a sharp sword.
"Let's go down and take a look," a sharp glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
Over the past two hours, apart from encountering some normal and elite monsters, he hadn't found any rare treasures in the Snow Region.
Because of this, he had specially asked Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu's reply to him was that the more unusual a place was, the higher the probability of rare treasures appearing.
This massive ice crevice was clearly such an unusual place.
He had already explored the most common terrains in the Snow Region—plains, canyons, high mountains, and even frozen lakes—many times.
But this massive ice crevice in front of him stood out extremely abruptly in the entire Snow Region. It was his first time seeing such terrain, so perhaps he could gain something here.
Swish!
With a flap of the wings on his back, Su Yu sped down toward the bottom of the ice crevice.
He continued to go deeper: one kilometer, five kilometers, ten kilometers, twenty kilometers, fifty kilometers...
This massive ice crevice was at least dozens of kilometers wide, but now it seemed its depth far exceeded its width.
Soon, Su Yu had descended nearly a hundred kilometers, yet he still hadn't reached the bottom of the ice crevice.
At this point, Su Yu was surrounded by thick mist and pitch darkness.
Fortunately, with the boost from his Blood Gods Eye, Su Yu's vision was excellent, allowing him to see everything within a few hundred meters around him even in the dark.
Although this distance wasn't very far, it would at least prevent him from being suddenly ambushed by some strange creature.
Just as Su Yu descended to about a hundred and twenty kilometers, a sharp sound of breaking air suddenly reached his ears.
Hiss!
A giant snake, about thirty meters long, covered entirely in deep blue scales and bearing wings on its back, lunged at him from the thick fog below.
[Lv150 Frost Flying Snake (Elite Grade)]
"An elite monster equivalent to a fourth transitionProfessional?" A hint of seriousness finally flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
A monster of this level, even if it was just an elite, could not be underestimated.
After all, a fourth transition Professional's attributes were at least 10-star, so a fourth transition elite monster's attributes would definitely not be lower than 10-star either.
Whoosh!
With a thought, Su Yu shot a Soul-Severing Arrowconsuming a thousand times the mana through the air.
He didn't use any True Intent; this was his first time fighting a fourth transition elite monster, so he wanted to gather as much information as possible.
The Frost Flying Snake whipped its tail, striking directly at the Soul-Severing Arrow.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Soul-Severing Arrow slammed into the Frost Flying Snake's tail, producing the metallic sound of clashing iron.
Su Yu's pupils contracted as he keenly sensed a peculiar aura on the Frost Flying Snake's tail.
It was somewhat similar to the aura when he usually used True Intent, only the essence of the power was different.
"Is this... the True Intent of Ice?"
Chapter 200: Frost Flying Snake!
"As expected of a monster that has comprehended a True Intent; its survivability is indeed strong," Su Yu thought with some emotion.
Although his previous Soul-Severing Arrow wasn't infused with a True Intent, it dealt true damage, which was far stronger than normal damage.
Despite this, it still couldn't cause too much damage to this Frost Flying Snake.
Almost all of it had been blocked by the power of the True Intent of Ice.
Whoosh!
Su Yu drew shadow fang into a full moon. Lightning flickered in his hand as a thunderous arrow emitting a destructive aura instantly pierced through the air.
Bang!
The speed of the thunderous arrow was astonishingly fast, striking the Frost Flying Snake's abdomen in an instant.
Crackle!
A terrifying power of thunder erupted, directly blasting the Frost Flying Snake into two pieces, instantly emptying its health bar.
"It seems my strength isn't weak even among fourth transition class holders," Su Yu thought to himself.
That arrow just now was merely his normal attack, but it was infused with a level 5 True Intent of Thunder.
The True Intent of Thunder channeled the power of heaven and earth, instantly unleashing terrifying damage.
Su Yu estimated that the level of that Frost Flying Snake's True Intent of Ice was level 2 at most.
Faced with a level 5 True Intent of Thunder, it had absolutely no power to fight back.
Aside from the difference in True Intent levels, the True Intent of Thunder was already considered one of the most highly offensive types among all True Intents.
Even if their True Intent levels were the same, relying solely on the True Intent of Ice to channel the power of heaven and earth wouldn't be enough to block the damage of the True Intent of Thunder.
"Starting from the fourth transition, most monsters or class holders should have comprehended a True Intent," Su Yuthought to himself.
Normally, after a class holder promotes to the fourth transition, their soul level will basically rise to level 1 or higher.
Once their soul level reaches level 1, even without a True Intent inheritance, they can directly comprehend the origin of True Intent within heaven and earth.
Therefore, whether it was a monster or a class holder, once they stepped into the fourth transition, they entered a brand new world.
From the fourth transition onward, what influenced one's strength the most was probably the level of their True Intent.
The further one went, the harder it was to raise the level of a True Intent, though its power would naturally grow greater as well.
At this stage, even if one's True Intent level was only one level higher than the opponent's, they could easily crush them.
However, once they stepped into the fifth transition and could learn True Intent skills, they would also have to consider the grade and level of those True Intent skills.
If the grade and level of one's own True Intent skills were extremely high, they could challenge those of higher levels even if their own True Intent level was slightly lower.
Of course, at the stage of the fourth transition, no one could learn True Intent skills yet, so combat power was still primarily judged by True Intent levels.
As long as one's True Intent level was high enough, even if their attributes were significantly weaker, it wouldn't be a big problem.
"Continue!"
Su Yu lingered no longer, continuing to go deeper toward the bottom of the ice rift.
One hundred and thirty kilometers, one hundred and forty kilometers, one hundred and fifty kilometers...
The further down he went, the higher the frequency of Frost Flying Snakes Su Yu encountered, and once, three Frost Flying Snakes even appeared at the same time.
However, Su Yu could take out a Frost Flying Snake with a single arrow, so these Frost Flying Snakes basically couldn't pose any obstacle to him.
"Fortunately, the consumption of soul power isn't too much," Su Yu silently sensed his own condition.
Basically, only when he went all out and shot dozens of arrows consecutively would he consume one percent of his soul power.
With his current recovery speed of soul power, it would take about one or two minutes to recover.
Bang!
After going about one hundred and eighty kilometers deep, Su Yu finally reached the bottom of the ice rift.
He sized up his surroundings.
At the bottom of the ice rift, the mist was so dense it was almost like a solid entity.
However, with the boost of the Blood Gods Eye, Su Yucould still clearly see everything within several hundred meters around him.
Beneath his feet was a patch of black earth, and azure-blue, faintly glowing plants that looked like wild weeds could be seen everywhere.
"Two directions, let's just pick one randomly."
Su Yu didn't hesitate; following his intuition, he dashed straight ahead.
About half an hour later.
Su Yu stopped his steps. A massive Frost Flying Snake had appeared in front of him.
It had sharp claws growing from its abdomen, and its forehead bulged slightly. It was currently fast asleep.
Behind it was a giant tree that was sparkling and translucent all over.
The giant tree was about ten Zhang tall, and upon it grew a strange fruit emitting a faint, eerie blue glow.
"Master, this is the nine-cold mysterious ice tree," Xiao Yu's voice rang out urgently.
"Its fruit can simultaneously increase life level and soul level; it is a rare treasure."
"I estimate that the fruit of this nine-cold mysterious ice tree in front of us will mature within three days."
"A rare treasure?" Su Yu's eyes lit up.
After being in the Snow Region for so long, he had finally discovered a rare treasure, and one that could simultaneously increase both life level and soul level at that.
"Hiss!"
Before Su Yu could even get close, the Frost Flying Snakewoke up from its slumber.
A pair of vertical pupils stared dead at Su Yu, its entire body exuding a terrifying aura.
[Lv150 Frost Flying Snake (diamond-grade)]
"As expected of a fourth transition monster, to have such a powerful aura even at diamond-grade," Su Yu raised an eyebrow.
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
Su Yu drew shadow fang into a full moon, and arrows emitting terrifying auras shot through the air one after another.
Thunderlight and bloodlight intertwined on the arrows, instantly slicing through the void and striking the scale-covered body of the Frost Flying Snake.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Frost Flying Snake's health instantly dropped by a huge chunk, leaving less than a third of its health.
Boom!
The wings on the back of the Frost Flying Snake shook violently as its massive body came crashing down toward Su Yu.
Swish!
Using Thunder Flash, Su Yu instantly appeared behind the Frost Flying Snake, and the shadow fang in his hand immediately switched to dagger form.
Phantom Combo!
Bang!
shadow fang sliced upward from below, cutting across the Frost Flying Snake's abdomen.
Infused with the True Intent of Thunder and the True Intent of Blood, hundreds of terrifying blade-lights flashed, directly slicing it in two.
Rumble!
The Frost Flying Snake's body, cut into two pieces, crashed heavily to the ground, blood spilling all over.
"Xiao Yu, is there any way to accelerate the ripening of the nine-cold mysterious ice tree's fruit?" Su Yu asked in a deep voice.
According to Xiao Yu's previous estimate, the fruit of this nine-cold mysterious ice tree would mature in about three days.
But Su Yu didn't want to wait here for so long.
Furthermore, he had to go out and match in the Heavens Battlefield once every day, and the Snow Region Key could only be used ten times, which was not enough to support such frequent entry and exit.
In his view, it would be best to explore the entire Snow Region in one go and take all the resources he could get first.
As for the remaining resources that couldn't be taken away for now, he could come back to sweep them up at a suitable time.
A moment later, Xiao Yu's crisp voice rang out in Su Yu's mind.
"Master, flora essence can be used to accelerate the growth rate of plant-type rare treasures."
"One million gold coins can buy one bottle of flora essence, and one bottle of flora essence contains one hundred drops."
"This means that one drop of flora essence is worth ten thousand gold coins."
"Let's buy a bottle first to see the effect," Su Yu said in a deep voice.
Time was money; as long as the gold coins spent weren't too much, it was completely worth it.
