After breaking through to Stellar Rank, Ender spent a few days adapting and became familiar with his new strength.
In his dorm room, he swiped his finger across the light screen. "The Stellar Training Camp requires new students to complete three trial missions within five years. Time is a bit tight."
One trial mission takes several months or even a year. Completing three trial missions in five years means there's less than three years to Cultivate!
Stellar Rank individuals have a lifespan of one epoch, which is 10,081 years.
Three years of Cultivation time is too short for such powerful individuals with such long lifespans!
"First, I'll use my points. After exchanging for a First-Order Spirit Weapon and a First-Order Force Armor, I wonder how many points will be left."
Finding the Stellar Training Camp's point exchange interface, Ender swiped his finger, looking for a suitable First-Order Spirit Weapon.
"After completing the second trial mission, I'll receive the special reward, the Blood Edge Blade, so I need a Spirit Weapon for transitional use."
Among Spiritual Masters, a saying has long been circulated: Only a fool would use a Spirit Weapon without a flying form!
The flying form of a Spirit Weapon significantly increases flight speed.
And an increase in flight speed means an increase in the probability of survival!
Sometimes, when a Spiritual Master faces an unbeatable enemy, they can use the flying form of their Spirit Weapon to increase their speed and escape the enemy's pursuit.
Therefore, whether a Spirit Weapon has a flying form is truly very important!
Knowing this saying, Ender naturally disregarded Spirit Weapons without flying forms.
"The Cloud Soaring Sword is a good First-Order Spirit Weapon. It can separate and combine, and its attacks are known for their unpredictability , making it very popular in the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp."
Looking at the Cloud Soaring Sword, which cost 87 exchange points, he frowned slightly. "But the Cloud Soaring Sword is a Spirit Weapon biased towards attack. Once I get the special reward, the Second-Order Telekinesis Weapon, Blood Edge Blade, I won't need it anymore."
A Second-Order Telekinesis Weapon's attack power is definitely stronger than a First-Order Spirit Weapon's; with the former, the latter can be phased out.
"I should exchange for a Spirit Weapon biased towards defense."
There weren't many items on the First-Order Spirit Weapon exchange list, so he quickly found a suitable Spirit Weapon.
"The First-Order Spirit Weapon, Heavy Defense Disk. Form one is the initial flying form, form two is the attacking form, Round Blade Disk, and form three is the defensive form, Heavy Defense Shield."
In its initial flying form, the Heavy Defense Disk was a black, flat oval, with a sharper front and a smooth curve at the back to reduce air resistance.
Form two, the attacking form, Round Blade Disk, was similar in shape to a circular flying disc, but its edges had many blades.
The final form three, the defensive form, Heavy Defense Shield, was a relatively large, ordinary-looking round shield.
Looking at this Spirit Weapon, which could both attack and defend, Ender felt it was very good. "Exchange price is 89 points. You're the one!"
After exchanging for the Spirit Weapon, he found the Force Armor exchange interface and exchanged 80 points for a First-Order Force Armor at the standard price.
"Exchanging for the First-Order Spirit Weapon and Force Armor cost 169 points. Now I have 61 points left."
Seeing that he still had 61 points left, Ender decided to check out the Secret Art Codex exchange interface.
"My Spiritual Force is 32 times that of a Spiritual Master of the same Rank. If I use an attacking secret art to attack a Martial Artist of the same Rank, I might be able to heavily injure him!"
The Secret Art Codex exchange interface had a considerable number of secret art codices, mainly divided into three major categories: Martial Artist, Spiritual Master, and General, and then these three major categories were further divided into numerous subcategories.
Soon, he found the Spiritual Master's mental attack secret arts based on the classification. After carefully reading multiple attack secret arts, he took a liking to an attack secret art called Soul Piercing Needle.
According to the introduction, this secret art compresses Spiritual Force using special techniques to form a fine needle, attacking the enemy's Sea of Consciousness. It has extremely strong mental penetration ability, making it easier to break through the enemy's Sea of Consciousness defense!
Looking at the required exchange points, Ender shook his head. "It costs 104 points, a bit expensive."
The Soul Piercing Needle was already a relatively cheap mental attack secret art, but it still cost 104 points, far exceeding the exchange price of a First-Order Spirit Weapon.
The most expensive First-Order Spirit Weapon was only 96 points!
Seeing that he couldn't afford the mental attack secret art, Ender pondered, "The first trial mission shouldn't be too difficult, most likely a collection mission."
"But if I'm assigned a Scout mission, there's a certain danger. It's better to use the remaining points on nutrient cabin enhancement."
"61 points can enhance my Gene Energy to Stellar Rank Third Order, and my Spiritual Force can also reach Stellar Rank Fifth Order. Crossing four Ranks would make me comparable to a Stellar Ninth Order Spiritual Master!"
Thinking of this, Ender was a bit surprised. He didn't expect to be able to raise his strength to be comparable to Stellar Rank Ninth Stage so quickly.
"Contact Borswell."
After deciding to use the nutrient cabin for enhancement, he first sent a message to Borswell, then submitted an application for nutrient cabin enhancement to the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp, spending 60 points to raise himself to Stellar Rank Third Order.
Before heading to the enhancement room, he first went to collect the First-Order Spirit Weapon, Heavy Defense Disk, and the First-Order Force Armor, then turned towards the enhancement room.
Before he even reached the enhancement room, he saw Borswell waiting at the entrance. Ender hurried over, "Borswell."
"Let's go."
Borswell nodded and led Ender inside the enhancement room, to the same room as last time.
Ender placed the Heavy Defense Disk and Force Armor he had received aside, took off his clothes, and entered the nutrient cabin.
Borswell glanced at him, instantly calculating the points Ender had spent. "Spirit Weapon and Force Armor total 169 points. He still has points to enhance to Stellar Rank Third Order, which means he won more than 30 points through gambling."
"Heh, he has some skill."
Having been in the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp for nearly a hundred years, Borswell naturally understood the caution of the old students; they usually only gambled 20 points.
If an old student lost, it would quickly spread throughout the entire Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp, making it impossible to win points from other old students again.
To be able to win 30 points, he could only say that Ender had skill and means!
After several days of nutrient cabin enhancement, Ender's Gene Energy Rank increased from Stellar Rank First Order to Stellar Rank Third Order.
Coming out of the nutrient cabin, he used his Force Armor to transform into casual clothes, and clenching his fist, he felt very good.
"My strength has increased a lot. I need some time to adapt."
The sheer amount of Gene Energy at Stellar Rank Third Order was four times that of Stellar Rank First Order!
Coupled with the improvement in physical fitness, he was, of course, much stronger.
After the nutrient cabin enhancement ended, Borswell directly turned and left. His mission was to guard Ender while he completed the enhancement.
Ender did not return to his dorm but instead went to the training room, intending to further adapt to his enhanced body.
Along the way, he was watched by many old students. He knew this was because the news of him being a Planetary-Level Domain Genius had spread, and the old students were all quite curious about him.
After adapting for several days, Ender, who was so poor he only had 1 point left and couldn't do anything, applied for a trial mission...
