Chapter 271: Another Choice!
Time flew by, and it was soon three o'clock in the afternoon. A new round of the arena tournament was about to begin.
This round of the arena tournament was still matched according to the rankings of the Tongtian Pagoda. Among the 64 advanced players, the highest-ranked would battle the lowest-ranked.
[At this point, I hope readers can remember our domain name...]
"First battle, Su Yu versus Wei Lang," Senior Meng's voice rang in everyone's ears.
Immediately after, a massive arena slowly rose.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Su Yu and Wei Lang instantly transformed into two beams of light and landed on the arena.
"Big Boss Yuhuang, please show mercy," Wei Lang said, pressing his hands together, bowing and nodding repeatedly, feeling extremely anxious in his heart.
After all, in the first battle, Su Yu had beaten Ye Ling half to death with a single strike. Not a single inch of her flesh was left uninjured, and even dozens of her bones were broken.
Although it wasn't fatal, suffering such physical pain was inevitable.
Su Yu nodded slightly but did not speak.
A few seconds later.
"Let the battle begin!" Senior Meng's voice echoed across the arena.
With a mere thought, a flash of crimson flickered in the depths of Su Yu's eyes, and an invisible force blasted directly into Wei Lang's body.
Boom!
Wei Lang crashed heavily into the energy barrier at the edge of the arena, blood trickling uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.
Although he looked miserable, his state was much better than Ye Ling's had been.
"Thank you, Big Boss Yuhuang. I concede!" Wei Lang said hoarsely.
If not for the rule that one couldn't concede right at the start, he would have surrendered the very moment he stepped onto the arena.
Soon, Senior Meng announced Su Yu's victory, and the energy barrier at the edge of the arena vanished.
Whoosh!
Su Yu flew down from the arena, returned to his original position, and quietly waited for this round of the tournament to end.
Once this round of the arena tournament was over, he could head to the Enlightenment Pagoda.
After all, there were still over ten hours before the next round of the arena tournament began. He had plenty of time to comprehend his Slaughter True Intent without worrying about his state being interrupted.
Soon, Senior Meng's voice rang in everyone's ears once again.
"Second battle, Mu Xuan versus Wang Quan."
Su Yu took a look. Wang Quan was a burly man clad in heavy armor.
During his last visit to the Wuji Chamber of Commerce, he had also purchased the basic information of the top 128 trial-takers in this Civilization Arena, so he had some understanding of everyone present.
The gap between Wang Quan and Wei Lang's True Intentlevels wasn't very large; both were around Level 7.
However, Wei Lang mastered the Wind True Intent, which made his movement more agile, while Wang Quanmastered the True Intent of Earth, making him better at defense.
Soon, Mu Xuan and Wang Quan both arrived on the arena. As the energy barrier rose, the battle quickly commenced.
Holding a magic book, Mu Xuan summoned blazing meteors that rained down from the sky one after another.
Holding a massive shield, Wang Quan struggled to block the flaming meteors falling from the void.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each flaming meteor could penetrate the shield, dealing immense damage to Wang Quan's body.
As the fifth meteor crashed down, Wang Quan's body could finally bear it no longer, and he chose to concede.
"It seems the defensive capability of the True Intent of Earth is indeed quite strong," Su Yu thought to himself.
Wang Quan's True Intent of Earth was only Level 7, yet he could withstand five of Mu Xuan's attacks.
Moreover, if he hadn't conceded and kept holding on, he might have been able to withstand another two or three attacks.
One battle followed another, and soon the list of the top 32 was completely determined.
Su Yu glanced at the top 32 list. Essentially, the top 16 of the Tongtian Pagoda had all made it into the top 32.
The remaining 16 could at least rank in the top 50 of the Tongtian Pagoda.
This showed that the Tongtian Pagoda was highly credible; at least for Third-turn Professionals, it could thoroughly test their strength.
With the conclusion of the second round of the arena tournament, Senior Meng left a brief word and vanished directly from the Arena Space.
Seeing this, Su Yu prepared to return straight to his palace. He still had to go to the Enlightenment Pagoda to continue comprehending his Slaughter True Intent.
Just as he was about to leave, a voice rang in his ears.
"Yu Huang, please wait a moment."
Su Yu paused and turned around, only to see Mu Xuanwalking quickly toward him with a rather complex expression on his face.
"Is something the matter?" Su Yu asked calmly.
Mu Xuan took a deep breath and squeezed out a sincere smile: "I came this time to invite you to join us on behalf of the Lieyang Palace once again."
"Please don't be in a hurry to refuse or leave. You can listen to the terms we are offering this time first."
Su Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and remained silent.
Mu Xuan paused, his tone becoming a bit more solemn: "As long as you join the Lieyang Palace, you will be immediately rewarded with 6 days of enlightenment time, 14 days of time at the True Intent of Thunder Inheritance Stele, and 1,000 enlightenment points."
"This is our sincerity!"
"Moreover, joining the Lieyang Palace won't stop you from joining the Wuji Heavenly Domain in the future. After all, the Beiyun Star Domain is originally part of the territory of the Wuji Heavenly Domain. Members of any force can join the Wuji Heavenly Domain; there is no conflict."
Su Yu's expression remained calm after hearing this, and he simply shook his head slightly: "No need."
Though the terms were good, once he joined the Lieyang Palace, he would have an inseparable connection with them in the future. This was a major cause and effect.
If the Lieyang Palace ever faced a massive crisis, he would have to step forward and face it together with them.
He did not want to get involved with the three major super forces of the Beiyun Star Domain; the sacrifices and rewards were simply not proportional.
The smile on Mu Xuan's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly recovered and smiled bitterly: "I figured as much."
"However, I have another choice here, and I believe you will definitely be interested."
"As long as you establish a contract promising not to join the Lixing Hall and the Youlan Palace, my Lieyang Palacewill immediately offer you 3 days of enlightenment time, 7 days of time at the True Intent of Thunder Inheritance Stele, and 500 enlightenment points."
"To be honest, I guess you probably don't want to join any super force in the Beiyun Star Domain."
"We don't want anything else; we just want to forge a good relationship with you, Yu Huang, so we can look out for each other if anything happens in the future."
Su Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up. He could actually agree to this condition.
Since he didn't plan on joining any super force in the Beiyun Star Domain anyway, wasn't this just getting free resources?
As for forging a good relationship as Mu Xuan mentioned, it wasn't some major cause and effect. Exchanging it for these resources was definitely a win.
Furthermore, he could tell that Mu Xuan had initially harbored some hostility toward him because he had eliminated Muyang, but now that hostility had completely dissipated.
Clearly, neither Mu Xuan nor the Lieyang Palace wanted to offend a genius with such limitless potential.
Since they wanted to forge a good relationship with him, there was no harm in agreeing.
Just as Su Yu was about to speak, Ziyue and Mosha arrived in front of him at the same time.
Chapter 272: A Windfall!
"Yu Huang." Ziyue spoke first, her long dress swaying slightly in the wind, her face exquisitely beautiful, carrying a hint of seriousness in her expression.
"Lixing Hall is also willing to offer the same conditions as Lieyang Palace. As long as you promise not to join Lieyang Palace and Youlan Palace, that will be enough."
She smiled slightly, her tone softening a bit: "Lixing Halldoes not dare to expect your joining; we only hope to form a good connection with you, and perhaps we can look out for each other in the future."
On the other side, Mosha also quickly said: "Neither of those two factions wants you to join Youlan Palace, which makes things much easier for Youlan Palace. As long as you make the same promise to those two, Youlan Palacewill also directly present an equivalent share of resources."
"Youlan Palace has no other intentions; we simply want to make friends."
Su Yu looked at these three people and finally understood.
The three super forces of Beiyun Star Domain were worried that once he joined either side, it would break the balance of the entire Beiyun Star Domain.
For them, his refusal to join any super force was actually the best outcome.
"Fine, but I don't want the duration of the True IntentInheritance Stele. The True Intent Inheritance Stele should be located in the headquarters of your respective factions, so I won't visit them in person," Su Yu said.
Hearing this, the three of them breathed a collective sigh of relief, expressions of relief appearing on their faces.
Ever since Su Yu displayed level 9 True Intent of Thunder, they had actually stopped expecting Su Yu to join them.
As long as he could agree not to join any super force, it already met their expectations.
Now that he just wanted to change the condition, it wasn't a big problem.
"Wait a moment, I need to communicate with the elder," Mu Xuan said.
Ziyue and Mosha also nodded repeatedly.
Afterwards, each of the three took out a token from their inventory and began communicating with the elders of their respective factions.
A moment later, the three put away their tokens simultaneously.
"Yu Huang, Lieyang Palace is willing to convert the 7 days of the True Intent Inheritance Stele duration for the True Intent of Thunder into 2 days of enlightenment duration, which means giving a total of 5 days of enlightenment duration and 500 enlightenment points," Mu Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Lixing Hall is the same," Ziyue also hurriedly said.
"Youlan Palace as well," Mosha said in a deep voice.
"Fine, when will you give me the resources? I will establish the contract as soon as you do," Su Yu said in a deep voice.
"Alright, before the arena match starts tomorrow, I will hand over the corresponding resources to you," Mu Xuansaid.
Mosha and Ziyue also nodded one after another, indicating their approval of Mu Xuan's statement.
"Alright, then it's settled."
Su Yu nodded, then transformed into a bolt of lightning that instantly soared into the sky, speeding towards the palace at the top of the mountain.
...
After returning to the palace, Su Yu did not immediately head to the Enlightenment Pagoda; instead, he pondered secretly.
To be honest, the change in the three super forces was not within his expectations.
After all, he had long made up his mind that if he didn't join these three super forces, they could simply ignore him.
He didn't expect that they would actually specifically ask him to establish a contract. This was probably to completely finalize the matter while also finding a reason to be on good terms with him.
These super forces could become super forces for a reason; at least, not everyone had the courage to lower their status to befriend a genius.
If he encountered some super forces that couldn't let go of their pride, they might just fight him to the bitter end.
"A total of 15 days of enlightenment duration and 1,500 enlightenment points—this sincerity is quite sufficient, and it can be considered an unexpected windfall." Su Yunodded with satisfaction.
These 15 days of enlightenment duration could at least allow him to raise the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to level 10.
As for whether it could be raised to the 10th level perfection, he wasn't very sure, but raising it to level 10 should not be a big problem.
Generally speaking, the power of a 10th-level perfection Fused True Intent was roughly 10 times that of a 10th-level perfection normal True Intent.
However, Slaughter True Intent was inherently stronger. Su Yu estimated that the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent was even stronger than ordinary Fused True Intentby a few margins.
A 10th-level perfection Fused True Intent could already rival laws. Its boost to Su Yu's combat power was definitely an epic-level enhancement.
The threshold of the ordinary sixth-turn only raised a normal True Intent to the tenth-level perfection, and then under the blessing of top-level True Intent skills and true cores, it could erupt with power close to laws.
Of course, this was the most primitive law power without using law skills.
Therefore, once Su Yu raised the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to the 10th-level perfection, he could easily reach the combat power of the sixth-turn threshold.
"These 1,500 enlightenment points can be taken directly to the Wuji Chamber of Commerce to be sold then; they should sell for quite a lot of heavenly dao points." Su Yuwas deep in thought.
The enlightenment points given by the three super forces were not true enlightenment points, but resources that could increase enlightenment points after use, which could be traded directly.
enlightenment points themselves could not be traded and were bound to the Professional.
Originally, he didn't want these 1,500 enlightenment points and planned to have them all converted into enlightenment duration.
However, doing so would appear too deliberate.
After all, the True Intent Inheritance Stele of Thunder was in their headquarters, and it was normal that he didn't want to go in person.
However, the resources that could increase enlightenment points could be traded directly. If he didn't want them, it would give people the feeling that he didn't lack enlightenment points at all.
Although he actually didn't lack enlightenment points, he couldn't expose this secret; otherwise, it would probably arouse the greed of countless people.
After all, his rank had not yet reached the fifth turn, and there was still the possibility of being possessed by someone.
Even if his rank reached the fifth turn, he couldn't expose it casually; otherwise, he would definitely be targeted by Abyss Demons, and his situation would become extremely dangerous at that time.
After all, Abyss Demons were also unwilling to see powerful peerless geniuses emerge in the Heavens and Myriad Realms. Assassinating these peerless geniuses was practically a daily routine for them.
As the saying goes, keep a low profile and make a fortune. His strength was not strong enough yet, so he still had to keep as low a profile as possible.
However, as a hard currency in the Heavens and Myriad Realms, enlightenment points wouldn't be a loss even if he took them to the Wuji Chamber of Commerce to exchange for heavenly dao points.
After all, he still needed many heavenly dao points to purchase resources to upgrade his life level and soul level.
Although things like True Intent levels and law levels were very important, other aspects were equally important.
If he wanted to go further on the path of the Professional, there could be no shortcomings in any aspect.
After a brief thought, Su Yu did not hesitate at all, directly teleporting into the enlightenment space through the miniature teleportation array in the palace.
Arriving in the enlightenment space, he familiarly entered the Enlightenment Pagoda.
"This time, I should be able to raise Slaughter True Intentto the 10th-level perfection in one go." A smile curled the corners of Su Yu's mouth.
Once Slaughter True Intent was raised to the 10th-level perfection, he could immediately comprehend the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent.
According to this progress, he was not far from completing the sixth stage of the Shadow God Archer Professionaladvancement quest.
Pulling back his thoughts, Su Yu immediately used 40 enlightenment points, then opened the last page of the Slaughter True Intent inheritance booklet and quietly began to comprehend it.
Chapter 273 Contract Takes Effect!
About ten hours later.
Su Yu suddenly opened his eyes, a smile curving the corners of his mouth as he contentedly put the Slaughter True Intent inheritance booklet in his hand back into his inventory.
His Slaughter True Intent had finally reached Grade 10 Perfection.
In fact, several hours ago, he had already raised Slaughter True Intent to the 99.99% level of Grade 10.
Without the assistance of enlightenment energy, a large number of enlightenment points, and the Slaughter True Intent inheritance, that last 0.01% probably would have taken a year or two to break through.
And that was considering Su Yu's comprehension.
Now Su Yu was no longer a newbie; through the intelligence information he purchased from the Wuji Chamber of Commerce last time, he had gained a comprehensive understanding of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, and at least he had a clear grasp of some common sense.
He knew that his comprehension was actually considered extremely top-tier even across the entire Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Coupled with enlightenment energy, a large number of enlightenment points, and the True Intent inheritance, he was able to make rapid progress on the path of enlightenment.
"Finally, I can start comprehending the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent next." A trace of anticipation rose in Su Yu's heart.
As long as he could raise the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to Grade 10, he could elevate his own combat power to the peak of Tier 5.
If he could go a step further and raise the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to Grade 10 Perfection, his combat power would reach the terrifying threshold of Tier 6.
By then, a peak Tier 5 Professional probably wouldn't even be able to last three moves under his hands.
Even a peak Tier 5 Professional who was extremely skilled in defense would likely be finished off by him within five moves.
With a thought, Su Yu took out the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent inheritance booklet from his inventory and opened it to the first page.
Then he took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and poured all his soul power into the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent inheritance booklet in his hand.
In an instant, Su Yu felt as if his consciousness had arrived in a world filled with countless thunders.
Unlike ordinary purple thunder, every bolt of thunder here was dark red.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Streak after streak of dark red thunder smashed toward his consciousness, but instead of causing him any harm, countless flashes of insight and comprehension emerged in his mind.
Just a few breaths later, Su Yu's Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent had already entered the initial mastery stage.
"As expected, raising the Slaughter True Intent and the True Intent of Thunder to Grade 10 Perfection first makes the efficiency of comprehending the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent even higher." A smile curved the corners of Su Yu's mouth.
Hum!
With a thought from Su Yu, a wisp of dark red thunder leaped in his hand.
Although the aura of this wisp of dark red thunder was very faint, the power contained within it could not be underestimated.
The newly mastered Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent had a might that was at least several times that of the newly mastered True Intent of Thunder.
This was the power of the Fused True Intent.
And this was just the beginning; later, as the level of the Fused True Intent increased, this gap would only grow larger and larger.
Especially when the Fused True Intent reached Grade 10 Perfection, the gap could reach at least 10 times—a truly terrifying discrepancy.
"So this is the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent; the Slaughter True Intent and the True Intent of Thunder have fused together perfectly." Su Yu felt deeply emotional in his heart.
Previously, he could use both the Slaughter True Intentand the True Intent of Thunder simultaneously, but the two were clearly distinct from each other.
It was equivalent to wrapping a layer of Slaughter True Intent around the surface of the True Intent of Thunder; there was no synergy between the two, and there was even a faint mutual consumption.
But the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent was completely different.
The Slaughter True Intent and the True Intent of Thunderhad each other in them, practically equating to a brand-new True Intent.
"Let's hurry up and continue comprehending."
Su Yu shook his head, reined in his thoughts, and continued to immerse all his consciousness into the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent booklet in his hand.
Now there was still some time before the next round of arena matches began, which was totally enough to raise his Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent level by another small fraction.
...
In Palace Number 1 of the Arena Space,
"There are still 10 minutes before the arena matches start; it's time to head to the Arena Square."
Su Yu slowly stood up and stretched his body simply.
After raising the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to Grade 2, he had returned to the palace.
After digesting the comprehension shards in his mind, his Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent level directly rose to 2nd Grade 36%.
This comprehension efficiency could be said to be quite high.
Before the Civilization Arena officially ended, Su Yu was confident that he would at least raise the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to Grade 10.
Swish!
With a movement of his figure, Su Yu directly left the palace.
He looked down toward the Arena Square and found that Mu Xuan, Ziyue, and Mosha had already been waiting there for a long time.
It seemed that the three major super forces couldn't wait for him to establish the contract and let this matter settle completely.
Swish!
The Thunder Wings behind Su Yu flapped, and he directly turned into a bolt of thunder, streaking rapidly toward the Arena Square.
Seeing Su Yu arrive, Mu Xuan, Ziyue, and Mosha also immediately greeted him.
"Yu Huang, the resources are all here; please confirm them." Mu Xuan spoke first, taking out a stone and a card from his inventory.
With a thought, Su Yu directly used Inspection, and the information of the two items in Mu Xuan's hands instantly appeared in his mind.
[Enlightenment Card (Special): Can be used to enter the Enlightenment Pagoda with this card. Enlightenment duration can be used in batches. Current remaining duration: 5 days.]
[Enlightenment Stone (Special): After use, 500 enlightenment points can be obtained.]
"It's fine, no problem." Su Yu nodded slightly.
Shortly after, Ziyue and Mosha also took out the Enlightenment Cards and Enlightenment Stones they had brought from their inventories.
After everything was confirmed to be correct, Su Yuimmediately established a contract with the three of them.
The content of the contract was very simple: Su Yupromised not to actively join any party among Lixing Hall, Youlan Palace, and Lieyang Palace. In exchange, the three parties would each gift Su Yu 5 days of enlightenment duration and 500 enlightenment points.
Once Su Yu received the resources, the contract would officially take effect.
Similarly, once the contract officially took effect, if Su Yuviolated his promise in the future, he would be subjected to the sanctions of the Heavenly Dao.
After establishing the contract, all three of them—including Mu Xuan—visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Yu took the three Enlightenment Cards and three Enlightenment Stones from the three of them, then put them all into his inventory.
At this very moment, the contract officially took effect. The three major super forces had fulfilled their promises, so next it was time for Su Yu to fulfill his own promise.
"Then I won't disturb you any further." Mu Xuan cupped his fists with a smile and turned to walk toward the crowd of Lieyang Palace.
Ziyue glanced at Su Yu, looking as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded gently and also turned to leave.
Mosha was quite open and straightforward, grinning broadly, "Yu Huang, if there is a chance, you can come to Youlan Space to sit for a while; perhaps there will still be opportunities for cooperation."
Su Yu nodded slightly without speaking.
Afterwards, Mosha said no more and strode toward the crowd of Youlan Palace.
Chapter 274: The Strongest Foundation!
"Fifteen days of enlightenment time should be about enough for me to raise my Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to Level 10, right?" A smile curled up on Su Yu's lips.
Getting three benefits for free without having to join any super power—this deal was not a loss at all.
Anyway, he had never planned to join any super power in the first place, so this was a complete windfall for him.
His goal was to enter the Wuji Heavenly Domain; only the Wuji Heavenly Domain could allow him to grow rapidly.
After all, the further one progressed, the more important resources became. Some resources were simply impossible to obtain without joining an Eternal Holy Land.
Even some high-difficulty Heavenly Dao quests would be directly assigned by the Heavenly Dao to the major Eternal Holy Lands, completely out of reach for ordinary large forces.
For example, super-god-grade resources were almost impossible to obtain through normal channels.
Even after Xiaoyu unlocked the Special Heavenly Dao Shop, she could only purchase god-grade resources, and the channels for acquiring super-god-grade resources were extremely scarce.
Furthermore, only by entering an Eternal Holy Land would he have the opportunity to master the Perfect Attribute Star Strengthening Secret Method, the Perfect True Pattern Condensation Secret Method, and so on.
According to the intelligence Su Yu had previously purchased from the Wuji Chamber of Commerce, one did not necessarily need super-god-grade resources to raise their life level and soul level in the later stages.
Through god-grade resources and various secret techniques, one could still raise their life level and soul level.
The Perfect Attribute Star Strengthening Secret Methodand the Perfect True Pattern Condensation Secret Methodwere precisely such secret techniques that could raise one's life level and soul level.
After a Professional stepped into Tier 5, they would open up a mana space within their body. This was also the greatest difference between a Tier 5 Professional and those below Tier 5.
For Professionals below Tier 5, the mana in their bodies drifted freely throughout their physical form.
A Tier 5 Professional, however, would open up a mana space and simultaneously rely on the power of True Intentto condense a True Core within that mana space.
From then on, the Professional would have their own source of mana and their own foundation.
Once they possessed a mana space and a True Core, the attribute stars would also condense their own physical forms, appearing within the mana space and continuously revolving around the True Core.
Once the attribute stars had physical forms, one could use secret techniques to consume large amounts of resources and strengthen them.
The stronger and more numerous the attribute stars, the stronger the True Core would become.
The stronger the True Core, the more it would in turn drive the elevation of one's life level and soul level.
This was the most common method of raising one's life level and soul level in the later stages.
Of course, to master the Perfect Attribute Star Strengthening Secret Method, the grade of the True Corehad to reach Innate First-Grade.
This was not an issue for Su Yu.
As long as he raised any single True Intent to Level 9 before promoting to a Tier 5 Professional, he could condense an Innate First-Grade True Core.
An Innate First-Grade True Core was the most perfect True Core.
Even if one continued to raise their True Intent level to Level 10, or even Level 10 Perfection, there would be no additional changes.
Generally speaking, being able to raise one's True Intentlevel to Level 9 before Tier 5 was already enough to build the strongest foundation.
The same went for the Perfect True Pattern Condensation Secret Method.
After a Professional stepped into sixth transition, they could condense True Runes upon their True Core to strengthen it.
The stronger and more numerous the condensed True Runes, the stronger the True Core would become.
Therefore, condensing True Runes could likewise drive the elevation of one's life level and soul level.
However, to condense Perfect True Runes, the prerequisite was possessing an Innate First-Grade True Core, and it also required a massive amount of resources.
This was also the reason why Su Yu wanted to join the Wuji Heavenly Domain.
Joining the Wuji Heavenly Domain would not only give him the chance to obtain the Perfect Attribute Star Strengthening Secret Method and the Perfect True Pattern Condensation Secret Method, but also the opportunity to acquire a massive amount of resources.
As long as he could display enough talent in the Wuji Heavenly Domain, he would receive a massive tilt of resources in his favor.
Of course, rights and obligations were reciprocal.
The stronger one's strength and the higher one's talent, the more resources they obtained from the Wuji Heavenly Domain, and naturally, the heavier the responsibilities they would have to bear in the future.
As the saying goes, "armies are maintained for years but used in a single moment." The Wuji Heavenly Domain put in so many resources to nurture geniuses, naturally hoping that these geniuses would play their part at critical moments.
Su Yu had long prepared himself for this.
He needed these resources to grow rapidly; only in this way could he hold his destiny in his own hands.
In the Heavens and Myriad Realms, the strong were revered. Only absolute strength could protect everything one cared about.
He wanted to raise his strength as much as possible before the Blue Star's dimensional ascension, so that his parents could live peacefully in the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Thoughts spun continuously in Su Yu's mind. His current strength was still too weak, and he needed time to realize his potential.
He believed that as long as he was given enough time, he would definitely become a peak powerhouse of the entire Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Suddenly, Senior Meng's figure appeared in the void.
"The third round of the arena tournament is about to begin. Next, we will determine the Top 16." Senior Meng's voice rang in everyone's ears.
Hearing this, Su Yu shook his head, reined in his thoughts, and quietly awaited Senior Meng's subsequent arrangements.
"For the first battle, Su Yu versus Ye Han."
Su Yu looked at Ye Han, a smile appearing on his lips. This Ye Han was Ye Ling's older brother.
It seemed he indeed shared some fate with the Ye family.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Su Yu and Ye Han transformed into two streams of light and arrived upon the arena stage.
"Big Boss Yuhuang, could you go a bit easy on me later? After you defeated my sister last time, she's still having nightmares when she sleeps at night," Ye Han said cautiously.
Watching this scene, Ye Ling stamped her foot fiercely. She hadn't been having nightmares at all!
That damn Ye Han, just to spare himself some physical pain, actually dared to slander her to her face.
Su Yu smiled and shook his head, saying nothing.
"Let the battle begin!" Senior Meng's voice echoed across the arena stage.
A moment later, Su Yu still defeated Ye Han in a single move.
"Thank you for showing mercy, Big Boss Yuhuang. I concede!" Ye Han scrambled up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice trembling slightly.
Soon, Senior Meng announced Su Yu's victory, and the energy barrier surrounding the arena stage vanished.
Swoosh!
With a flap of his Thunder Wings, Su Yu flew down from the arena stage and returned to the Arena Square.
With his currently displayed True Intent of Thunder, which was as high as Level 9, as long as his opponent's True Intent level was below Level 8, they basically could not withstand the damage of a single move from him.
Only trial takers whose True Intent reached Level 8 had a chance of holding out against a few of his moves.
Currently, the only trial takers whose True Intent had reached Level 8 were Mu Xuan, Ziyue, and Mosha; everyone else was below Level 8.
Therefore, as far as Su Yu was concerned, the arena tournament was nothing more than going through the motions, with absolutely no challenge.
Soon, the list of the Top 16 was successfully released.
Su Yu took a look and saw that among the members who managed to enter the Top 16, the lowest-ranked on the Tongtian Pagoda was still ranked 25th.
One could only say that the weight of the Tongtian Pagodarankings was indeed very high.
After Senior Meng departed, Su Yu did not linger either. He returned to his palace once more and continued to comprehend the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent.
Chapter 275: The Civilization Arena is about to end!
Time flew by, and seven days quickly arrived.
In the Arena Space, within Palace Number 1.
"The arena tournament is finally coming to an end. This process is truly too tedious." Su Yu shook his head helplessly.
After the Civilization Arena tournament decided the top 16, it entered the round-robin ranking matches.
All trial-takers who entered the top 16 would duel one by one, with the winner gaining 1 point, and the final ranking would be determined based on points.
Currently, only the last match was left, and the final ranking could be determined.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Su Yu; he currently had 14 wins out of 14 battles, having already locked in first place ahead of time.
Even if he threw the matches in the upcoming arena tournament, it would still be 14 wins, and he could still easily take first place.
"I wonder if I can raise the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to level 10 before the Eternal Ancient Realmopens." Su Yu looked thoughtful.
The Civilization Arena was going to officially end today, and it wouldn't be long before the Eternal Ancient Realmopened.
Generally speaking, the Eternal Ancient Realm would open within 3 to 10 days after the official end of the Civilization Arena, and this time was uncertain.
According to Su Yu's understanding, the last time the Eternal Ancient Realm opened on the 7th day after the official end of the Civilization Arena.
If the opening time of the Eternal Ancient Realm this time was the same as last time, he should still have a very high hope of raising the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intentto level 10.
During this past period of time, he would use the Enlightenment Pagoda for a dozen hours every day, which made his Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent level soar rapidly.
Now it had reached the level of Level 9 at 11%.
Of course, compared to his speed of comprehending normal True Intent in the past, it was much slower, but this was also normal.
There were two main reasons. The first was that the comprehension difficulty of Fused True Intent itself was extremely high, especially as the later stages of comprehension would soar in difficulty.
Another point was that although the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent was a fusion of Slaughter True Intentand the True Intent of Thunder, it was essentially equivalent to an entirely new True Intent.
The more True Intents one comprehended, the greater the conflict between the True Intents, and naturally the lower the comprehension efficiency would be.
However, this was still within Su Yu's tolerance range.
After all, even ordinary peerless geniuses needed several years to raise normal True Intent to level 9.
Su Yu could raise a Fused True Intent to level 9 in just seven days; if this spread out, it would probably scare countless people to death.
If given another seven days, he believed he had a very good chance to raise the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent to level 10.
As long as the Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intentcould be raised to level 10, it could officially come in handy.
The Slaughter-Thunder Fusion True Intent at level 10 could easily allow him to break through the combat power bottleneck of the fifth-turn high stage and reach the peak fifth-turn combat power.
The stronger his strength, the greater the probability of entering the Eternal Ancient Realm to obtain great opportunities.
After all, the more dangerous a place was, the greater the probability of great opportunities appearing. Without sufficient strength, it was simply impossible to obtain these opportunities.
As long as he could obtain some great opportunities in the Eternal Ancient Realm, even if he couldn't use them himself, he could exchange them for other resources.
Currently, for him, what he lacked the most was resources.
Whether it was the perfect attribute star enhancement secret technique or the perfect true rune condensation secret technique, both consumed extreme amounts of resources.
Without sufficient resources, even having the secret techniques was like a clever housewife unable to cook without rice.
However, he was already much better off than others; at least he didn't lack enlightenment resources, or rather, he didn't lack enlightenment points as well as True Intent and Law inheritances.
Although he didn't have Law inheritances right now, as long as he completed the sixth stage of the Shadow God Archer class advancement quest, he could directly obtain four Law inheritances.
This was also one of his huge advantages.
Even if an ordinary person obtained a God-tier hidden class that was unique across the entire Heavens and Myriad Realms, they wouldn't be able to trigger class advancement quests.
The reason why Su Yu was able to trigger the Shadow God Archer class advancement quest most likely had an inseparable connection with his Super-God Level Talent.
He guessed that Super-God level classes might not even exist across the entire Heavens and Myriad Realms.
At least in the intelligence information he bought previously, there was no information about Super-God level classes at all.
"Time is almost up. It's time to head to the Arena Square."
Su Yu stood up, his figure moving to arrive at the palace entrance.
He looked down towards the Arena Square below. At this moment, nearly a hundred trial-takers were already waiting here.
Everyone was much more proactive than usual.
Perhaps because the Civilization Arena was about to officially end shortly, everyone was quite looking forward to it.
After the official end of the Civilization Arena, the Heavenly Dao would distribute related rewards, and at the same time, the Wuji Heavenly Domain would also reward additional cultivation resources.
It could be said that today was a day of harvest.
Swish!
The Thunder Wings behind Su Yu fluttered, instantly turning into a streak of lightning as they sped towards the Arena Square.
A moment later, Su Yu arrived above the Arena Square.
"Big Boss Yuhuang."
"Hello, Big Boss Yuhuang."
"Good afternoon, Big Boss Yuhuang." Seeing Su Yu arrive, quite a few people greeted him.
Su Yu smiled and nodded, not speaking.
Ever since he signed a contract with the three major super forces, he was no longer regarded as a threat by them, but instead became an object for them to befriend.
During this period of time, many people also gathered courage to come up and show goodwill to him, and Su Yudid not refuse.
After all, everyone belonged to the same Beiyun Star Domain, so getting to know each other didn't hurt.
Moreover, in the future, if Blue Star Civilization broke away from its status as a Newborn Civilization, it would lose the protection of the Heavenly Dao and be exposed within the Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Most of these people were sub-top peerless geniuses in the Beiyun Star Domain, belonging to the local tyrants of the Beiyun Star Domain. At that time, Blue Star Civilization would inevitably have to deal with them.
If a civilization wanted to develop, it certainly couldn't isolate itself and had to conduct exchanges and trade with other civilizations.
This could also be considered paving the way and building some connections for Blue Star Civilization in advance.
Before long, Senior Meng's figure appeared in the void.
"The Civilization Arena is about to end. This is your final battle. I hope everyone will go all out and display your strength as much as possible." Senior Meng's voice rang in everyone's ears.
"The additional cultivation resources rewarded to you by the Wuji Heavenly Domain will be distributed based on your potential rating. Especially if your strength has improved significantly during this period, it will greatly affect your potential rating."
As he spoke, Senior Meng took a deep look at Su Yu.
He knew very well that Su Yu had obtained 15 days of enlightenment duration and 1,500 enlightenment pointsfrom the hands of the three major super forces.
According to his observation, Su Yu would stay in the Enlightenment Pagoda for a dozen hours every day. Combined with the use of some enlightenment points, he should be able to raise the True Intent of Thunder to level 10.
If Su Yu could display the level 10 True Intent of Thunder, he could directly arrange a Level-3 True God Seed potential rating for Su Yu right now.
Only by reaching the potential rating of a Level-3 True God Seed could one join the Wuji Heavenly Domain at a low rank. This was a rigid rule, and he had no way to change it.
If he could recruit Su Yu into the Wuji Heavenly Domainbefore Su Yu entered the Eternal Ancient Realm...
...then the better Su Yu's performance in the Eternal Ancient Realm would be later on, the greater his own harvest would be.
Previously, he felt that Su Yu would at least have to come out of the Eternal Ancient Realm before reaching the potential rating of a Level-3 True God Seed.
But now, with the resources bestowed by the three major super forces, he felt that Su Yu's strength should enter an explosive period.
After all, within a Newborn Civilization, where would there be high-tier resources like the Enlightenment Pagoda and enlightenment points?
With these high-tier resources, he believed that Su Yu's strength would definitely make substantial progress compared to before.
