Chapter 3059: Dark Matter and Inspiration

The 21,000 Soul Coins invested were worth it. Su Xiao could feel that his own mental power had grown a lot, which helped him improve his alchemy.

Mental damage reduction was important. The Feather God was mainly based on mental abilities, and he might encounter such strong enemies in the future.

Su Xiao's mana had reached 37,167 points, not far from breaking the 40,000 mark.

Su Xiao spent fast, and Benny's speed of selling items was not slow either. The three Immortal-grade gems were all popular, selling for a total of 18,850 Soul Coins, among which the price of the 【Purgatory Eye】 gem was not high, with a rating of only 1026 points.

Not only that, there was also the Light Silver Ore sold to Reed, obtaining a total of 15,666 Soul Coins. If miners didn't need to hand over the ore obtained, then the gains of each world would be quite astonishing.

After miners mined ore, they needed to submit the specified quota, and then go to the consumption during the mining process. Although the gains were not too exaggerated, they were definitely not low.

With such a large sum of Soul Coins in his account, Su Xiao continued to improve himself.

【Yes/No to upgrade Technique Sublimation lv. 46, upgrading this ability requires consuming 3000 Soul Coins.】

This ability Su Xiao had accumulated for a long time. He decided to upgrade it to lv. 50 first. After paying 12,000 Soul Coins, the upgrade began.

The sensory experience of this upgrade was not too intense. After all, he had upgraded it many times. An invisible energy appeared in the surroundings, sinking into Su Xiao's body, starting to improve a certain potential of his. Not only that, he also felt that blades were slashing past him in the surroundings. He tried to capture this feeling and felt it without spending much effort.

Nearly an hour later, Su Xiao, sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes.

【Technique Sublimation: lv. 50 (Technique-type · Passive)】

Skill Effect 1: Increase the power of self-developed blade techniques by 103% (increased by 8%).

Skill Effect 2: Blade technique potential tier +6 (increased by 1 tier).

Skill Effect 3: Basic · Nerve reflex speed +10 points, Basic · Dynamic vision +10 points (this is a newly added characteristic).

What is the strength gained from accumulation? This is it. The new characteristics of Technique Sublimation were crucial to Su Xiao, and one could also see the power of this type of ability.

Su Xiao's ways to stably improve dual reaction speed were: improve real agility attributes, improve Blade Technique Grandmaster, and improve Close Combat Grandmaster.

Besides these, there were none. Now Technique Sublimation could also improve dual reaction speed. This aspect was not only useful when attacking and dodging, but also related to judgment, perception ability, etc.

Checking the remaining Soul Coins, Benny had more Soul Coins in his account, and he decided to continue accumulating Technique Sublimation.

【Yes/No to upgrade Technique Sublimation lv. 50, upgrading this ability requires consuming 5000 Soul Coins.】

Seeing this price, Su Xiao's mood fluctuated significantly. The cost of upgrading this ability had clearly exceeded the tier he was in. This was a skill scroll he bought from the Captain. God knows in which tier world the Captain obtained this kind of skill scroll.

To fight strong enemies, this kind of cross-tier improvement was indispensable. The strong enemies Su Xiao encountered all had real attributes stronger than his. Why was he the one who won in the end? Luck? Not at all. It was precisely through this near-insane accumulation that he had his current strength.

If one judged his strength based on Su Xiao's real body attributes, he would be beaten into autism in minutes.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao chose to upgrade Technique Sublimation by 6 levels continuously. As soon as he paid the Soul Coins, his eyes went black.

In the darkness, a water drop with a faint light fell.

*Drip~*

The darkness below rippled. Su Xiao looked forward, and a figure seemed to be standing in the darkness.

"My thought, is..."

Su Xiao didn't hear the subsequent words clearly, as they were absorbed by the surrounding darkness.

*Zing! *

A slash of light struck. Su Xiao didn't have a chance to dodge at all before being slashed. The speed of this slash was not fast to the point of being unsolvable, but it was unsolvable. It was a slash that pierced through everything. When this slash was slashed out, everything froze, and one could only be slaughtered.

In the skill upgrade chamber, Su Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and pressed one hand to his chest. There were no wounds, nor soul damage. That slash just now was not to hurt him, but to impart certain things to him, letting him experience it personally.

【Technique Sublimation has been upgraded to lv. 56.】

【Technique Sublimation: lv. 56 (Technique-type · Passive)】

Skill Effect 1: Increase the power of self-developed blade techniques by 121% (increased by 18%).

Skill Effect 2: Blade technique potential tier +7 (increased by 1 tier).

Skill Effect 3: Basic · Nerve reflex speed +34 points (increased by 24 points), Basic · Dynamic vision +34 points (increased by 24 points).

Technique Sublimation originally improved 1 tier of blade technique potential every time it improved lv. 10. Now it had become improving 1 tier of blade technique potential every time it improved lv. 5.

Besides this, Su Xiao discovered that everything around him was very slow. The flowing air brushed against his skin, and a tiny light particle drifted past his eyes. He didn't release his perception, but saw natural elements with his naked eyes.

Su Xiao closed his eyes and meditated, opening them after a moment. Natural elements were still drifting nearby. Seeing this, he continued to meditate.

After a long time, Su Xiao looked around. This time, he couldn't see natural elements with his naked eyes. This wasn't a good thing; it was the discomfort brought by the surge in dual reaction speed. It was fine to perceive natural elements, but directly seeing these small things—it was fine for a day or two, but if it lasted long, it would overdraw mental power.

Leaving the skill upgrade hall, Su Xiao walked toward his exclusive room. Pushing open the door of the exclusive room, he saw Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang still sleeping soundly on the bed. Amu and Baha were not there, having gone out to roam.

Sitting on the sofa, Su Xiao took out 200 Soul Crystals (Complete), preparing to improve Close Combat Grandmaster. Dual Grandmaster development—the later it got, the more enjoyable it was during battle.

【Yes/No to upgrade Close Combat Grandmaster lv. 51, upgrading this ability requires Soul Crystal · Complete x100 + 5,000,000 Paradise Coins.】

Su Xiao chose to upgrade Close Combat Grandmaster by 2 levels continuously. The goal at the current stage was to upgrade Close Combat Grandmaster to lv. 59. To upgrade to lv. 60 required Soul Crystal Cores. Upgrading Blade Technique Grandmaster was not enough; it was still 2 Soul Crystal Cores short of breaking through this hurdle.

Soul Crystals shattered one by one, sinking into Su Xiao's body. After a long time, the blood in his body that was almost boiling calmed down.

【Close Combat Grandmaster has been upgraded to lv. 53.】

【Close Combat Grandmaster: lv. 53 (Passive Skill)】

Skill Effect: In close combat, kick technique attack power increased by 688% (increased by 20%), Basic · Nerve reflex speed +14 points (increased by 6 points), Basic · Dynamic vision +14 points (increased by 6 points).

Initial Additional Ability: Physical defense, toughness increased by 30% (increased by 2%), immune to all physical control effects derived from attributes lower than one's own strength and agility (such as being frozen or bound, etc., can instantly break free).

lv. 10 Ultimate Ability · Strength Penetration · Kick Technique Basic Enhancement (Passive)...

From lv. 10 to lv. 50, the "Strength Penetration · Kick Technique Basic Enhancement" all had improvements. At a glance, it was nothing, but after accumulation time after time, a very terrifying qualitative change would appear. One could see this from the Feather God's reaction after being kicked directly.

All items on Benny's side were sold. Right now, Su Xiao still had 6339 Soul Coins left. Opening treasure chests would have to wait a few hours until the Fate Dominator finished upgrading.

Among all the treasure chests, Su Xiao was most looking forward to 【Saint-grade Treasure Chest · Black Nest (Set Treasure Chest)】 and 【Immortal-grade Treasure Chest (60%)】. The former might open a Technique-type · Saint-grade set, and the latter was the treasure chest dropped by the container.

With nothing to do for now, Su Xiao decided to use the Soul Coins in his hand to try to set up the "Eye Ritual." Of course, it was a ritual after adding alchemy. He prepared to cultivate 1 to 2 eyes, then create a devourer, implant the eyes into it, and see how the compatibility was.

Just as Su Xiao prepared to cultivate "eyes," Sha sent an email. The content was that the Toad, the Violent Rat, and the King of Hair had all returned to the Reincarnation Paradise, waiting for him to help the King of Hair remove the dark matter in her body.

Receiving this news, Su Xiao suddenly had an inspiration. Dark matter was a unique substance in a certain place in the Void. If the dark matter removed from the King of Hair's body were collected, and this substance were used to cultivate "eyes," and then implanted into the dark-characteristic devourer, what would happen?

In that case, could more dark matter be removed each time? Considering the King of Hair's endurance... no, this aspect was not a problem. Mental trauma would recover slowly. The King of Hair was an Arbiter and was no longer the plot character of the past. Her knowledge couldn't be compared, let alone her strength.

Mental aspects were not considered for now. As long as the body wasn't ruined, could 2 portions of dark matter be removed each time, or could 3 portions be considered? There should be more experimental materials.

Su Xiao's eyes became brighter and brighter. Just at this time, Baha walked into the laboratory.

"Boss, have you had dinner? I prepared... My God, Boss, what kind of look is that? I'm a bit chilled."

"It's nothing, I thought of a good inspiration."

Su Xiao's gaze returned to normal. Seeing this, Baha breathed a sigh of relief.

After finishing dinner with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha, Su Xiao lit a cigarette. Removing dark matter was not simple. After dinner, he had to rest for a while to recover his state, so as not to make a mistake and kill the King of Hair. After all, the reward given by the Violent Rat side was very high—a blade tip of a Law-Breaker's sword. That was the sword of the female Law-Breaker with the worst personality in history, Green Gillian.

After resting for a while, Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha out and walked toward the trial ground. Sha's exclusive room was nearby.

Just arriving near the agreed location, Su Xiao saw Sha, who was wearing a black tight vest and tied in a short ponytail.

"The people over there are already waiting."

Sha wiped the sweat from her chin. It was obvious that she had just completed her practice. Her strength had never fallen behind. When they first met, Sha's peak combat power was at the seventh tier. After such a long time, Sha's strength had never stopped, not to mention Su Xiao helped her recover all the hidden illnesses in her body and let her overdrawn potential recover.

Sha was the female strongman Su Xiao had ever seen who was most obsessed with becoming stronger. As for the reason, there was no reason. Sha just liked strength.

"Where is the location?"

"The Violent Rat's exclusive room."

"Change the place."

"Then where to go?"

Sha was somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Su Xiao did this.

"Go to Altoria's exclusive room. Let her set up a room that is big enough. The door must be sturdy, preferably a high-strength metal door. Specific furnishings..."

Su Xiao said a variety of machinery and materials that Sha didn't understand.

"Go to Altoria's exclusive room? Why?"

Although Sha asked this, she had already contacted that side.

"In a familiar place, the heart is less likely to collapse."

"This..."

Sha's cheeks twitched. She recalled the experience of lying on the operating table in a certain underground room in the Black Abyss. Sometimes when having nightmares, Sha would dream of the scene at that time, waking up in a cold sweat. ===== CHAPTER 3060 =====
